Painting holidays Karin Frenay

Discover your creativity

In the heart of Southern Burgundy

Summer 2026

Imagine a week when time slows down. You're immersed in the rolling landscape of Burgundy, surrounded by tranquility and ample space, and you discover your creative flow.

During this painting and drawing holiday, I invite you to deepen your creative process. Through simple exercises, you'll learn to see nature and your surroundings in a new light.

  • What are we doing?

    This week is all about exploring, discovering, and developing your drawing and painting skills.

    The theme of nature will be our focus.

    And I'll teach you various techniques to capture the surrounding beauty. It's not about "making it beautiful" or an exact representation of reality. But about learning to express yourself and strengthening your style. Practice and experiment with colours and lines.

    Be surprised by your talent.

  • So what does a day look like?

    Every morning, we'll start together. I'll give you an exercise that I'll explain with examples.

    There's plenty of room for your ideas and wishes, of course. We'll have lunch together at the large table on the spacious terrace—with a magnificent view—after which you'll continue working on a new assignment or your project in the afternoon.

    At the end of the afternoon, we'll get together to discuss each other's work and share experiences.

    You'll work wherever you feel most comfortable: outside in the sun or shade, or—if the weather isn't so good—inside the spacious hangar.

Small group – lots of attentionT

This 2026 edition is a try-out, so I'm working with a small group of 4 to 5 participants. This ensures plenty of personal attention and room for growth.
