Our painting courses which run throughout the year with internationally acclaimed artist and tutor Mac Mckay, are based in the foothills of the Cote D'azur, Provence with its legendary scenery and clarity of light which has been the inspiration for many of the worlds greatest artists.

Its 300 days of sunshine per year and exceptionally good Spring and Autumn temperatures, along with the carefully chosen locations make this the ideal place to paint all year round.

Accomodation is in our beautiful stone bastide which is set amongst stunning landscaped gardens of palm and olive trees. The position of the property ensures absolute peace, and yet we are only 25 minutes from the cosmopolitan towns of Cannes and Nice.

Read what our previous guests have said about Azur Painting Holidays...

"I had a truly wonderful holiday, staying on for a further few days on a B&B basis because I could not drag myself away. The bastide and acommodation are wonderful, Mac and Laura were such warm and friendly hosts. The location was sensational and I will never forget the balmy evenings sitting round the dinner table on the terrace and watching a carpet of fire flies drift across the garden. I'll definitely be paying another visit."

Janet Johnson, 2004

"We have attended quite a number of painting holidays in the past few years, but Azur is definitely the best . Good food, individual tuition, superb painting locations and a great house atmosphere are the highspots."

David & Patricia Clark
