We are very excited to announce that Marilyn Hughes SBA, a contemporary Botanical Artist working in Oil Based Coloured Pencil and Graphite Pencils will be running an art course here at Pechauzi, Castelnau de Montmiral, Tarn between 14th and 21st September 2019. Painting in Oils and Acrylic is also a firm favourite of hers and through these mediums she combines the vibrancy of colour and accuracy into pieces of work bringing them to life. Marilyn has been teaching for the past 30 years at venues such as Cirencester College, Bristol Botanical Gardens, Nature in Art, GACG Summer School as well as running her own workshops. Her superbly finite detailed drawings have been admitted and exhibited nationwide. The course will include all meals- homecooked and specialities of the region, local wines, a couple of excursions to Albi and our local Bastide village of Castelnau de Montmiral and also expert advice on all flora and fauna of the area from our very own wildlife expert, Jonathan. Only a few places left. Please look on our website for more information pechauzi.com #botanicalart#oilbasedcolouredpencil#graphite#oilpainting#acrylic#tarn#artretreat
