Provence workshop days three and four: The village of Oppede Le Vieux and market day in L’Ile sur la Sorgue
Posted: June 29, 2018 Filed under: Uncategorized 7 CommentsBetween slow wifi and long days it’s been hard to post but here are a few highlights from the past two days. Again, more visuals but few words.
A demo about mixing greys and painting stone in the magnificent hilltop village of Oppede le Vieux…
Market day in L’Ile sur la Sorgue where we had some free time to shop and sketch. I found the produce tables!
And finally a chance to paint a demo of the market scene…
My students produced some amazing work from the shade of the park across the canal.

I absolutely loved the first painting. I really liked the earthy colours of the masonry and the play of light and shadow. It also reminds a bit of Greek villages!

Thank you for finding the time and a way to keep posting. I could say so much but I’ll settle for ‘stunning sketches that perfectly capture places I remember so well’.

Lovely painting, but I’ll study your two Craftsy courses better…

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate these posts from France. The paintings are wonderful. I love seeing the different sketchbooks-what a variety of work. And thanks for the photo along with the paintings.
