Treat yourself to a sketching weekend in this vibrant, cultural and historic city – you won’t regret it!\u00a0 Montpellier is not just one of France’s most sought after destinations, it offers an incredible amount of sketch subjects – from majestic buildings and classic French architecture to luscious green parks, street caf\u00e9s and let’s not forget the food and fabulous wine!<\/p>\n
For this weekend break we’ll be based in the heart of the city – La Place de la Com\u00e9die<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 From here we’ll start by getting to grips with some of the basics of sketching on location.\u00a0 The Saturday workshop is ideal for beginners or a great refresher if you’ve already got some drawing or painting experience.\u00a0 We’ll be exploring the city through our sketches, learning a whole pack of tips and tricks about perspective, colour, adding people to your drawings and of course, making memories about this incredible area of France!<\/p>\n The city is known for being pedestrian and bike-friendly with close to 200 km of paths and a great tram network, so it’s easy to get around without a car. With an international airport it’s also incredibly accessible from almost anywhere – and you can also catch a high-speed train to or from Paris, or even drive from London or Barcelona!<\/p>\n Where to stay:<\/strong><\/p>\n I suggest somewhere within walking distance of La Place de la Com\u00e9die.
