Walking & Watercolors on the French Riviera

France!


Walking & Watercolors along the French Riviera
Sept 10-16 Join your Blue Walk host Carlo, and our very special guest Jane LaFazio, for a spectacular week of “Walking & Watercolors” along the French Riviera. 
The Blue Walk offers an extraordinary opportunity to spend a week on the Cote d’Azur, leisurely strolling 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 watercolors, you’ll illustrate the details of your French Rivera experience. Jane LaFazio is known for her fun-loving, supportive instruction, and she 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 watercolor in a quick and intuitive way. 
Each day we’ll stop along our walk to draw and paint the details that capture your interest - just quickly, and on small 5x7” journal size pages.  Our stops could be a colorful 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.
