Painting the South of France: Oil Painting Workshops, Pézenas, and a Big PBS Premiere
the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Artist Eric Santoli painted his way through the Pézenas. Santoli announced ,” I am officially back home after an absolutely unforgettable week teaching an immersive oil painting workshop for Paint Away Tours in the breathtaking South of France.
Our destination was the historic, sun-drenched town of Pézenas—a location radiating with old-world charm, brilliant light, and endless artistic inspiration. The entire week was a beautiful blend of intensive plein air painting, exploration, incredible local cuisine, and fantastic group activities.
I am always deeply honored to teach these international tours. There is nothing quite like working closely with passionate students, guiding them through the nuances of light and color, and helping each of them succeed on their individual painting journeys.”
