A Still life Masterclass in oils

Six nights at Chateau Charente. Five masterclass mornings. Ten painters only.

Each morning, Karen sits beside you. Not demonstrating from the front of the room. Looking at your canvas. Sharing the way she truly sees: the light, the restraint, the discipline of really looking before you ever pick up a brush. She understands what you specifically need and teaches from exactly that.

Afternoons and evenings are yours. To wander, to rest, to let the morning's work settle. The setting is not incidental. Southwest France in May is all light and flowers. The very subjects Karen is known for surround you. It gets into the work.

The Chateau provides the rest: a dedicated studio, seasonal French cuisine, curated excursions off the tourist trails, and morning wellness sessions. Everything designed so the only thing you need to think about is your painting.

Five mornings of that quality of attention changes how you paint. Everything is designed to allow real creative work to happen.
