The Art Walk
"Walking & Watercolors"

by Carlo
(The French Riviera)

Join your Blue Walk host Carlo, and our very special guest Jane LaFazio, for a spectacular week of "Walking and Watercolors" along the French Riviera, Sept 10-16, 2012

It's an extraordinary opportunity to spend a week on the Riviera strolling along its gorgeous coast, meandering through its best-loved towns, and enjoying classes taught by our artist extraordinaire, Jane LaFazio.

Using a pencil, a pen and a small set of watercolours, you'll illustrate the details of your French Rivera experience. Jane LaFazio is known for her fun-loving, supportive instruction, and will teach you to draw and paint in your own style, as unique to you as your handwriting.

You'll learn how to capture the subject in pencil and then add watercolour in a quick and intuitive way.

Each day, we'll stop along our walk to draw and paint the details that capture your interest - quickly, and on small 5x7" journal size pages. Our stops could be a colourful French flower market, pausing along a shaded seaside promenade, or lingering at an outdoor cafe sipping cappuccinos. With the Cote d'Azur as our backdrop, inspirations are limitless.

At the end of the week, we'll compile a small book with your pages and memories of The Blue Walk tucked inside.
