Painting course Provence, France
26-31. October 2024
I am holding my first painting course in Provence, France this autumn. The trip goes to Cotignac, an idyll of a Provençal village sheltered under rocky cliffs that stretch high against a blue-blue sky. On the Cours Gambetta square and the heart of the city, residents and visitors alike enjoy a relaxed village atmosphere. Cotignac is village charm at its very best - welcoming, authentic and original.
We will live in a manoir - a classic mansion located in the middle of the village. There are bedrooms with room for two people if you are traveling together, but of course also single rooms if you prefer. Bed linen and towels are included and the bathrooms are normally equipped with, among other things, a hairdryer, soap and shampoo. The house has a lovely garden with several sheltered patios and a large heated pool. We want to create a pleasant "at home" atmosphere, and breakfast and dinner are included in the course fee.
Cotignac offers many lovely hiking opportunities, and in the area around Cotignac you will find several great vineyards for wine tasting. Tuesdays are market day with a wonderful atmosphere in the square. A visit to the city's galleries offers exciting local art.

Painting course with creative coaching in beautiful surroundings
A painting course can be a great way to explore your creative side, learn new techniques and find inspiration. It can also be a gift to yourself that gives you a break from everyday stress and offers lowered shoulders.
You say you haven't painted before? Perfect! In this course we will:
- Playing with colors on the canvas
- Paint without performance anxiety with the help of creative coaching techniques
- Find joy and release blocked emotions with color
- Be surprised by what you can achieve and experience that you too can paint

- Equipment for the painting sessions
- Guided city walk in Cotignac

Additional costs:
- The flight: You book it yourself. There are several companies that fly to Nice, but we recommend either Norwegian or SAS. When registering, we will send you updated information about the recommended itinerary.

On a painting course with artist Veslemøy Vangsnes: OUTSIDE THE COMFORT ZONE
Playfully easy, but at the same time oh, so scary it is when Veslemøy Vangsnes challenges the participants on a painting course outside their own comfort zone. - It's about to
Feedback from previous participants:
Thank you for an absolutely wonderful weekend with all nice people. You have created a lovely course where you can do nothing but develop! I'm so glad I joined!
Monica Ekelund
Thank you for a lovely painting weekend, with refreshments for both the eye, heart and soul, dear Veslemøy!
Sibeth Hoff
Thank you for a wonderful art weekend! I have finally stepped out of my comfort zone. I know it's a big learning process, but exciting and developing for me! Breaking barriers that only I set up!
Ingrid
I recommend painting courses with Veslemøy to anyone who wants to paint, but doesn't dare or know how to start. There is a soft approach to the art of painting and Veslemøy is a pleasant teacher who leads you on if you feel you are stuck. There is no pressure to perform, nor is there any requirement that something should come out of what we paint either. Very fun weekend!!!
Hege Sjursen
Inspiring painting course where everyone can get painting. Set up and coached so that you don't feel like you have to perform. Good atmosphere. A bit spiritual which I like.
Hilde Merete
Painting weekend with Veslemøy is a respite from everyday life where colors and creative techniques can meet your own thoughts and feelings. You come as you are, with the knowledge you have. Really recommendable
Heidi Brovold
I think the course was absolutely great! Very well laid out from start to finish. The scheme suited very well in terms of having participants at different levels, at least from a beginner's point of view. The painting weekend has inspired me to continue painting and I have learned techniques that allow me to really experiment and develop myself further. Veslemøy creates a relaxed, good and not least creative atmosphere. Recommends the course to anyone who wants to explore the art of painting and their own relationship with it.
