Holiday / Activity Overview:

The aim of this art holiday is for participants to immerse themselves in the process of painting & drawing to discover a personal interpretation of all the Ardeche has to offer. The selected area of landscapes, people and architectural influences provide a wonderful vista for the five day course. The climate also provides the ideal setting for other subject areas such as everyday people and daytime scenes. Use of colour, application of marks, surface texture and balance of composition will be explored to convey a sense of mood of the environment.

This course is suitable for beginners as well as those with experience and our objective is to improve your technique, regardless of your starting point.

Classes of up to ten people will be guided by Lisa Jayne within a very relaxing, holiday atmosphere. Whilst classes are structured at the beginning of each day, 9.30am, individuals will be encouraged to work as their mood and schedule suits them until 4.30pm. The five day course of painting & drawing allows plenty of time both to learn and to practice a number of subject areas. You can work in a medium you are familiar with, or try something new and Lisa Jayne will be willing to help you decide what is best for you. The course timetable runs from Sunday to Friday with one optional day to visit the local gallery or just relax and enjoy the local area.

Your accommodation:

Le Mournet consists of three beautiful independent holiday properties from which you can explore this fabulous and largely undiscovered region. Each has its own individual charm & style, the garden level (La Chataigne), the stables in the courtyard (L’Ecurie) and the barn at road level (La Grange). Each property has been created to have its own private entrance and terrace and/or garden with BBQ and outside dining area. The interiors are well equipped with modern comforts and have a contemporary feel - a real home away from home.

The 12m x 6m Swimming Pool (salt water filter) is situated in the south-facing gardens that slope gently down to the Gluyere River For more information please look at: http://www.ardecheaffair.net

About the local area:

The Mournet is situated at the entrance of the village of Albon in the heart of the Boutieres National Park next to the Massif Central at an altitude of 630m. The village benefits from a warm climate and despite the tranquil environment the house is only 500m from the village.
