Description:

Join award-winning painter Jennifer McChristian, Master of Fine Art, for a five-day invigorating
workshop for all levels of artists who want to learn the time-honored tradition of “painting en plein
air”. This magical riverboat tour and painting workshop includes a trip to Van Gogh’s Arles and a
tour of Monet’s home and waterlily pond in Giverny.  Along the way though this inspirational
countryside learn Jennifer McChristian’s special techniques to simplify color relationships, design
and composition.  

Your workshop adventure begins with an overnight stay on the French Riviera, also known as the
Cote d’Azur.  Then travel to Port St. Louis in the Provence region to board your ship and sail north
up the scenic Rhône and Saône Rivers.  Along the way, explore Arles, Avignon, Viviers, Tournon,
Vienne, Lyon, Mâcon, Tournus, Chalon-sur-Saône, and fascinating Beaune.  Your workshop ends
in Paris with a guided sightseeing tour of Monet’s home in Giverny, dinner and a show at the
Moulon Rouge, and some free time to explore the remarkable “City of Light” on your own!
