Paint like Cezanne in an outdoor art practice
Presentation
Join Elodie, a guide specialized in art history, with a focus on the painter Paul Cezanne. She will offer an interpretation of the master's works, his life story, and his artistic choices.
Your guide will accompany you on a stroll through the Aix-en-Provence countryside, amidst the landscapes that so inspired the father of modern art. It was at the foot of Mount Sainte-Victoire that he set up his easel more than a century ago.
Then, we will set you up facing Mount Sainte-Victoire, and our collaborator, an artist and art teacher, will introduce you to painting from life. The artist will adapt her teaching to all levels and audiences. Children are welcome. All materials are provided.
On each outing, you'll have the opportunity to try a different technique: charcoal, dry pastels, oil pastels, watercolour, in various locations across the Bibemus plateau. Come and enjoy a sensory experience through artistic expression in the heart of nature and leave with your own creation.
