Painting In The Loire Valley

Our 2019 Stay at our host Chateau in Nouzilly, France was amazing. Two glorious weeks of plein air painting, visiting chateaus, cooking together, eating, drinking, and so many laughs to remember forever.

We stayed on the grounds of this beautiful private chateau. NOT open to the public. Day one, Rain! Oh No, Plan B, on the property there is a Atelier where we painting the figure... me. It was a slightly overcast, so painting inside was the way to go. Being the model gave me the opportunity to see what it's like to sit still for 3 hours... Hats off to those models who do it professionally. However I did get to enjoy watching these talented artists do a study of me.

We also visited three of the majestic Chateaux's in the Loire Valley. Chenonceau, Amboise and Villandry. Each  Chateau has its own special character and charm. We painted on the grounds of Chenonceau and nearby Chateau Amboise. What an exciting experience for everyone to be able to paint next to these impressive Chateaux's.
