We are offering a six-night stay in our French country house, which sits at the top of a steeply-wooded hill in the tiny hamlet of Peyralade in the rural department of the Tarn et Garonne. The house is large  and comfortable, filled with colorful art work by your host Lizzie Wallace.

There is a pool and shady terraces to relax and eat delicious food and drink local wine, prepared by Lizzie who is a renowned foodie and cook. There is also a sparkling lake for those who like to wild swim!

 

We invite you to set free your creativity and spend five full days oil painting and drawing, guided by our brilliant professional artist-tutor William Wyndham – learning new skills, meeting new people and producing art work to take home.

 

We positively encourage beginners and create a fun, lively and supportive atmosphere, with small groups of up to eight people. This course is a fabulous opportunity to have a productive and relaxing time. Talented artist William Wyndham will be guiding you gently and expertly in the studio and on location in the beautiful Bastide towns and stunning countryside. 

 

We want our guests to have a relaxed and fulfilling stay at The Canard Savage, at the same time improving their creative skills.
