Anita Winter
Anita Winter will be our instructor for this workshop. Anita grew up in Michigan and Mexico City which enabled her to experience diverse cultures and environments. Consequently, she enjoys painting both landscapes and cityscapes. Anita paints to celebrate, explore and give thanks. Her goal is to capture a moment in time and hopes you enjoy sharing her vision during the workshop in this wonderful part of France.
Our lodging: Le Clos du Buis
The hotel has a perfect location in the center of Bonnieux. It is possible to walk to restaurants, shops and galleries. The hotel has a lovely garden, a small pool, plenty of space to paint indoors after our excursions! The breakfast is extraordinary and can be taken in the dining room that has a panoramic view over the beautiful valley below.
About the area
We will stay in the Medieval town of Bonnieux, situated on a steep cliff with many hilly streets and overlooking the valley below. The architecture of Bonnieux, which was a papal town for about 500 years, has kept all its authenticity, its fountains and washhouses, its old church - and a view that is worth it all.
