Private Art Tuition
If you have always wanted to draw and paint, but have never had the time, or the courage, to “have a go”, then your stay at Le Petit Chêne Vert can provide you with the perfect opportunity.
Debbie is a qualified Art teacher with 22 years experience in mainstream education and is keen to continue passing on her skills to others.
Working in the relaxed atmosphere of the garden at Le Petit Chêne Vert or in the newly converted studio, discover how rewarding drawing and painting can be. At the end of your holiday leave with your own finished work, mounted, ready to proudly display.
Specially developed “taster lessons” offer sensitive instruction in the basics of drawing and painting,(pencil, pastel, watercolour etc).
All these sessions are tailored to individual needs, so are ideal for absolute beginners and those with some experience.
So don’t be shy - contact Debbie anytime for more information.
