A walk in the footsteps of Cezanne & an artistic practice outdoors

Guided visit (3h) - On the first part of the tour, we'll hike up from the village of Tholonet into the nature reserva of Roques Hautes for an hour, punctuated by different stops to talk about the landscapes that inspired the masterpieces of the painter, with reproductions of his paintings as a medium. It was at the foot of Mount Sainte-Victoire that Cezanne often came to paint.
Elodie, a tour guide spezialized in art history and the painter Cezanne, will tell you all about Cezanne’s history, his painting methods over time and why he chose to settle here for the last 10 years of his life.

On the second part, once we arrive on the Bibemus plateau, we will install your material in front of a landscape chosen by Emma Ricochastel, your teacher. She is an art teacher and painter who graduated from the Aix-en-Provence and Paris University.
She will introduce you to outdoor painting, in the same way the impressionists did in the XIXth century.
On each outing, Emma will have you try a different technique (charcoal, dry pastels, oil pastels, painting), in various locations on the Bibemus plateau (pine forest, cliff, balconies). .
