Love art? Love France? Experience the best of both during a two-week painting class with Julie Houck in the Langeudoc region of southwestern France from June 26 to July 10, 2010.
Daily painting excursions will take participants to unspoiled villages and market towns, vineyards, rolling farmland an a special two-day excursion to the Mediterranean town of Collioure. There, artists will follow in the footsteps of the Fauves and paint where Monet, Derain and Delaney also found their muse.
