Description

Discover Mont Sainte-Victoire and paint the mountain that inspired Cézanne so much. A workshop away from the hustle and bustle of the city to learn or improve your watercolor and sketching skills.
As you hike, discover the landscapes that inspired the master's work. Let yourself be inspired by the unique light of Sainte-Victoire and the majesty of this iconic mountain. We will walk through these legendary landscapes, pausing for creative stops along the way. During each break, I will guide you step by step in learning watercolor, so you can create a final piece that you will take home with you. Whether you're a beginner or at an intermediate level, this experience is suitable for all skill levels—you'll be amazed at what you can create.

I'm Laura, a hiking guide who is passionate about watercolor, travel journals, sailing, surfing, and traveling. I've been a Marseillaise by adoption for over 10 years, and I've fallen in love with this region, its landscapes, and the trails I explore far and wide.
