A unique experience to paint in Monet's garden in the beautiful village of Giverny, France. This art workshop includes over 20 hours of painting, sketching, watercolor and art history instruction aimed at both beginners and experienced artists alike.

Art instructor: by Timothy Tyler (Signature member of Oil Painters of America)

Upcoming workshop: October 2-8, 2002

Background: Monet was drawn to the village of Giverny because of the striking beauty of the countryside with its river views and hillsides. He found a house in the village 1883 and would reside there for over 40 years, creating a floral wonderland that would inspire his paintings.

Located about an hour and half from Paris, this small hamlet has maintained an old world quality, both from its story-book houses as well as the warmth and welcome of the people there.

This workshop includes a day trip to Paris for museum visits, and includes exclusive accommodations in a B&B of Charm.
