Q: Is there WiFi at the villa?
A: Yes, there is WiFi throughout the hotel
Q: What level of experience is this painting course geared toward?
A: With decades of teaching experience and working as a full time painter I feel qualified to teach painters at all levels of experience, please see the student gallery of paintings to see examples of student work from my courses, this is work created by complete beginners to advanced artists. The majority of each day will be devoted to working one on one with each student to address his or her specific painting needs. It is very beneficial for painters who are starting out to be in the company of more advanced artists, with the right frame of mind this can be an extremely positive experience
Q: Will a materials list be sent out?
A: Yes, I will be sending out a detailed materials list several months before the course so there will be ample time to purchase and organize your materials. See this link to my page for materials information.
Q: Can I travel with oil paints?
A: This year I’ll be providing oil paint for everyone to use, so you won’t have to lug your heavy tubes of paint around. If you choose to bring your own paints you can bring them as long as they are packed in your checked luggage. I’ll provide you with instructions and a label in French and English which explains to the TSA that your paints are artist pigments mixed in vegetable oil. Please see this link for my packing information. Please see this link for my packing information.
Q: Should I bring my own turpentine?
A: No, flammable substances aren’t allowed on airplanes. We will provide you with turpentine during the course.
Q: What is the best way to pack my art materials for the trip?
A: I’ll provide you with detailed instructions and photos which illustrate the best way to pack everything safely and efficiently. This will be sent out several months before the course date Please see this link for my packing information.
Q: How will I transport my wet paintings?
A: Not a problem! Most paintings will be dry to the touch in a few days. A few days before the end of the course we will mix a bit of Liquin with our paints which will dry them overnight. This will all be explained in detail in the materials list.
Q: Will there be help with arranging flights?
A: As many participants like to travel to various locations before the course begins, or after it finishes, you will make your own flight arrangements and are responsible for paying for your airline travel.
Q: Is there a washing machine and dryer in the villa?
A: No there isn’t a laundry room at the hotel but there is a laundromat close by..
Q: Is there daily maid service in the rooms?
A: Bed sheets and towels will be changed and there will be housekeeping every 2-3 days unless otherwise requested
