SMARTSHOP_CART_EMPTY

In June 2023 I did a watercolor course on the Île de Ré in the small town of Ars en Ré. We were 7 people plus the teacher who had organized this trip. We stayed in the city in a magnificent and very large house with a small courtyard in the back allowing us to have our meals outside. Shopping and meals made by ourselves, taking turns. It was extremely hot in the afternoon which meant that we left around 4 p.m. to go painting.

We painted in the town of Ars en Ré which is a pretty town whose architecture is typical of this region: white houses with blue, green or white shutters. Very flowery city and lots of flowers. The Île de Ré is the queen for bike rides. We encountered many during our excursions. Having come with two cars, we traveled around Ars en Ré to find motifs to paint. Our teacher already knew the surroundings and took us to some beautiful places. I present to you the subjects that I painted in my travel notebook.
