La Bonne Etoile Artists Retreat was specifically developed to assist artists and writers who would benefit from an experience in another culture, along with a time of seclusion and solitude. But through the years it has developed into more....a community of friends. La Bonne Etoile Blog has been designed to expand the richness of that community by continuing the quest to create and recreate together.
La Bonne Etoile workshops are ALL-INCLUSIVE, starting and ending with hospitality shuttles to and from any Paris airport. Our workshop instructors are well known for quality, patient instruction for all levels of students. contact [email protected] for full information. Be sure to visit the individual websites of the artists, you will find links to La Bonne Etoile workshop information there as well.

A Message from the Artist

Bonjour and Hello,

I am delighted that you are interested in attending the Pastel Exploration this October……it is such fun for me to teach this workshop and through the generosity of the product vendors, you will have the chance to try most of the pastels and supports currently on the market.

There will be plenty of pastels for you to use, however, if you have your own pastels, you are welcome to bring them. We can discuss how to complete or expand your set if necessary.

Each session will be about three hours, with a break for lunch each day, giving us a chance to share and relax….lunch options will be included in your registration packet.

The last hour of each day will be an interactive session of “Programming you Artistic GPS”

While it is stressed you should not be expecting to produce frame worthy paintings, you will complete the workshop with some very nice samples of work, plus having acquired many new tools for your paint box.

Don’t hesitate to give me a call if you have any questions or concerns…..404-382-0402 This number is local for you but rings through to my studio in France. I will also be sending more information throughout the summer. Until then, happy painting!!

Kippy
