Discover the beauty of the massif of Mount Sainte Victoire through painting and drawing, guided by a professional artist and art professor. All level welcomed.
Mount Sainte Victoire arises among a great variety of landscapes.
The cohabitation between living things and geological times has been a great source of inspiration for many artists. How does one render what they see in painting and drawing ? How does one choose a motif ? Cezanne said « Painting from nature is not copying the objects but it is realizing one’s sensation ».
