Your Time With Ivy
Hello creative friends! I’m so excited to invite you to join me for a dreamlike adventure to the South of France! This 7 day all inclusive creative journey will be hosted by Perigord Retreats and will be in the Dordogne and Lot regions! A place full of exquisite beauty, fascinating history and endless inspiration! Come create with me in France!
Your 7 days will be a beautiful blend of studio time, delightful excursions, cultural experiences and of course, plenty of free time to rest and explore! You can arrive, unpack your suitcase (and your art supplies) and truly relax, since the entire group will make it’s home at the gorgeous Perigord Retreat Villas – complete with indoor pool, spacious studio and stunning gardens! We told you it was dreamy!
Ivy will guide you through many projects ranging from pastel portrait making, landscapes in soft pastel, expressive collage, art journaling, sketching on location and creating plein-air. We will be visiting enchanting medieval villages, strolling through French vintage markets, touring ancient castles, picnicking in the French countryside and creating all along the way! The creative inspiration will be all around you!
