After a fantastic week at Clos Mirabel in the Pyrenees, 2022, I’m excited to be running two painting weeks in 2023.
Clos Mirabel perfectly combines grand and homely, packing a stunning view across the valleys to the Pyrenees. The owners, Rachel and Xavier, bring a quiet luxury to the experience – they genuinely make you feel at home. They want your experience to be unforgettable! The food and wine they provide is delicious and locally sourced. There is a large studio space, stunning grounds, and we’re a short drive from the mountains and an abundance of painterly subjects. The Pyrenees stretch from one end of the horizon to the other – you can’t look away, the view is always changing.
There is no shortage of inspirational subject matter, with the overriding focus being LIGHT.
The dates are
8 March 2023 – 23 March 2023
7 October 2023 – 14 October 2023
See below for the full diary of the weeks – with a mix of studio, plein air and work on location, be prepared to bring back a wealth of new subjects, skills and above all special memories to treasure.
See you there!
