Dean Fisher’s Dordogne Valley Workshop Information
The 2024 Dean Fisher Dordogne Valley landscape painting workshop is $4,500 USD. This increased price, because of extending the course to 10 days from the previous 7 days, reflects a fee day of free day of instruction, meals, and stay at the chateau as a gesture of gratitude to all of you. By popular demand from a number of past and present participants, we will be offering and extended, single session of 10 days (instead of the former 7 days).
