  • Registration Form: Ocres du Luberon

    PROVENCE 20-27 JUNE 2026
  • This oil painting retreat  (36/38 hours) hosted in a private estate nestled among lavender fields between Apt and Roussillon, in Provence, France. This workshop will be enriched by several activities designed to explore the enchanting Luberon, an area of outstanding natural beauty famous for producing wonderful natural pigments for fine arts. Lessons will be in English and Italian.

    The course is made possible thanks to the cooperation of many actors: Italian Artist Elena Governo (the tutor),  Domaine Saint Pons (the host), not-for-profit organization "La Musa d'Argento APS" and "Progetto Ecate" — an academic fine arts school located in Como, Italy.

    "Ocres du Luberon" is a residential retreat that includes accommodation, full board, the oil painting course, all necessary fine art materials, and a curated selection of cultural activities and insights. A detailed brochure of the program has been sent to all interested applicants and published in both Italian and English on the art school's website.

    ✨ Spots are strictly limited. To participate, active membership in the organization is required; you may register for membership at any time.

    A single-occupancy room may be requested for a 30% surcharge. Please note that only one room is available with this option.

    Submitting this form constitutes a contractual obligation to pay the full participation fee. In the event of cancellation by the participant, the paid confirmation deposit is non-refundable, and the obligation to pay the full remaining balance remains, unless the participant finds a substitute to take over the contract under the identical conditions. Participants are strongly advised to purchase private travel insurance to cover any unexpected impediments that might prevent them from attending.

    Participation requires independent mobility, as the estate is located in an area not well-served by public transportation. An adequate level of physical fitness is also required to take part in the scheduled activities, including walks and excursions around the region.

     

    Please note that we are an independent fine arts school and not a commercial travel agency. This means that while we operate under different operational parameters and limitations compared to standard tourism packages, it also allows us to curate a highly non-standard, authentic, and tailor-made artistic experience that a traditional agency could never provide.
