Art Holidays at La Renauchat with Peter Wood
A delightful farmhouse in the Hamlet
of La Renauchat which is only a few miles from Fresselines. Beautiful views,
private gardens, woodland walks, fishing, wildlife. Our own private woodland in
a forest.
The attractive village of Fresselines, where Monet himself, and many other famous artists, once lived and painted.
All situated next to the Petite and Grande Creuse in the centre of wonderful countryside and delightful villages with great cafe's and bars.
Market days, vide greniers and brocantes, events, fireworks, exhibitions and more.
Simple but comfortable accommodation. A choice of double bed, en suite. Twin or single with seperate bathroom. Very small classes of no more than 3 and catering, even, for just one person! Virtually individual tuition where guests are treated as family and the holiday and course tailored to suit individuals, from the art, visits, time table, to the food and even trips! Due to this, only a limited number of breaks will be offered a year. 7 days or two weeks available. My last party would have liked a further week, but will have to return for that!
Course tutor and host - Peter Wood. B.A.HONS., A.T.C. A fully qualified and experienced teacher in both the state and private sector, plus an international artist on Washington Greens' lists.

Booking and prices
Your holiday is flexible and so are the prices, accordingly. It is not simply about money for me, I enjoy teaching and seeing you succeed, gain confidnce at any level and having pleasure and a great time! So the price is the same, each, for just one person with me as for two or three. If your partner is none painting there will be a small reduction on materials. The main thing is to book early and outline your wishes for your personal break as I will not offer very many due to my own personal and artistic needs here. It's a great life and I love living it also! You may choose other activites as and when you
wish, including fishing, photography and film making.
