We will be staying in the tiny hamlet of Les Bassacs, nestled in the heart of the Luberon. Far from the tourist crowds, we will explore sweeping countryside vistas, ancient perched villages, agricultural fields, and even Roman ruins. Maggie used to live in this area, and she has a native's grasp of the landscape. She has scouted out the painting locations that are

best suited to impart the lessons she will share. We will learn about simplifying the near and far of the landscape, understanding the color of light, and fine tuning color relationships.

The workshop is a very intensive week of study. Some have even called it Boot Camp! The daylight hours are long at this time of the year, and we take full advantage of them to paint outdoors in the landscape. Some of the most vigorous members of the group have also been known to paint into the evening hours, working on nocturnes. With only ten students, there is plenty of time for individual attention and instruction. The entire week is an amazing learning experience.

I am serving as Maggie's Trip Coordinator again this year, and would be happy to answer any questions if you are interested in learning more. Looking forward to another fantastic workshop experience!
