Join artist Oksana Danziger for a week-long art retreat in Southern France, where you’ll create your own collection of watercolor paintings and sketches inspired by the region’s enchanting landscapes, golden light, and timeless architecture. This immersive French workshop is based in the historic town of Pézenas, famous for its cobbled streets, artisan boutiques, and vibrant open-air cafés. During your free time, explore charming markets, meet local craftspeople, and soak in the authentic atmosphere that has long inspired artists and writers. Throughout this watercolor art retreat, Oksana will guide you in capturing the beauty of the region through plein air painting sessions. From the peaceful cloisters of a 12th-century abbey to the serene shores of the Canal du Midi, each setting offers fresh inspiration for your Mediterranean artwork. A dedicated local guide will enrich your experience with fascinating cultural and historical insights into each painting location. Your home for the week is the elegant 4-star Garrigae Distillerie Spa Hotel, just a 5-minute walk from Pézenas’ medieval center. Enjoy warm hospitality, fresh-baked pastries each morning, and exquisite Mediterranean cuisine at carefully selected gourmet restaurants. This art retreat in France is designed for a small, supportive group of 12 artists who enjoy painting, cultural discovery, and meaningful connection. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced painter, you’ll find encouragement and creative growth in this inspiring environment. Non-painting partners and photo enthusiasts are also welcomed on this tour. A special program of guided visits is designed for them during the painting sessions.
