1-2 hour segments of each day where we can focus on important and challenging aspects of sketching using the views around us.
Quick and focussed sketches, works of art in their own right, but also brilliant ways to focus down on a scene.
Every day we'll be spending at least 1-2 hours sketching a 'full scene'. One of the many chateaus, or characterful villages and landscapes all around us.
Weather permitting (and it's usually rather nice there!) we'll spend most of the time outside.
This is the old tobacco barn in Saint-Cybranet - our venue for breakfast, and to gather and regroup every morning and evening. If the weather is inclement, we can also make use of this to maximise our time.
Included each morning is a group breakfast in the Barn, this can be suited to dietary requirements of course.
All transfers whilst with us are included, check below for airport transfers as these may incur an additional fee.
There are four lunches included, with one (on the day out to Sarlat) not included. These will be simple picnics and packed lunches to fill hungry sketchers.
Two dinners are included - on our first and final days as a hello and a celebration of all we've achieved. On other days Jan is able to provide (at additional cost) meals to those in her Gites (see accomodation) and take-away options for those elsewhere. There are restaurants and a shop nearby too.
Flights are not included, but the closest location to fly to is Bergerac airport. From here a free transfer can be arranged if you arriving on day 1 of the sketching week. Other airports you could fly to include Toulouse (TLS) & Bordeaux (BOD). Transfers can be arranged from here, but will incur a fee. Car hire is also readily available at all of these locations.
We need a minimum of four sketchers to make this viable. And a maximum of ten.
