Oil Painting with Liz Adams – A Painting Holiday in the South of France
Escape to the enchanting South of France and immerse yourself in the golden light, timeless villages, and sun-drenched vineyards that have inspired artists for centuries. Join renowned painter Liz Adams for an exclusive small-group oil painting holiday with Paint Your Travels, limited to just ten participants.
Your home for the week is the elegant Distillery Hotel in Pézenas — a beautifully restored boutique hotel set within a former wine and brandy distillery. With stylish ensuite rooms, a tranquil courtyard, and a refreshing pool, it’s the perfect base to unwind after a day of painting and exploration.
Each day, Liz will guide you through plein-air oil painting sessions in a variety of inspiring locations — from cobbled village streets and rustic stone mills to rolling vineyards and the glittering Mediterranean coast. You’ll even visit one of the region’s oldest wineries, for a day of painting accompanied by a wine tasting.
When it comes to dining, you’ll enjoy a delicious mix of local French cuisine. Five evenings feature relaxed dinners in the hotel’s restaurant, while two nights are spent dining out in the charming heart of Pézenas. Lunchtimes are a delightful blend of light lunches in a local bistros and picnics.
Whether you’re an experienced painter or new to oils, Liz’s warm and practical teaching style will help you gain confidence, loosen your brushwork, and truly capture the light and atmosphere of this remarkable region. All materials are provided, so you can simply relax, paint, and connect with fellow artists.
Join us for a week of creativity, culture, and camaraderie — and leave with wonderful memories and a new group of friends.
