Pamela Morton is an artist and teacher who lives in Aix-en-Provence. She will give a 30-40 minute presentation on Van Gogh in Provence followed by a drawing lesson. You will learn to draw this sketch that Van Gogh included in one of his letters. There are color instructions that Pamela will explain so that you can add color after the class if you like.

You will simply need a sheet of paper and a pencil, eraser, and a fine/medium indelible black marker (sharpie). The paper can be anything larger than 8" x 10". Copy paper is OK, but a thicker paper would be better. No drawing experience is necessary. You are welcome to sip your favorite French red wine to get yourself into the mood.

The class will be live and will take place at 11 am Pacific/2 pm Eastern/8 pm France
