Behind the Tim Horn Painting Workshop in Provence.
Tim Horn’s plein air workshop in Provence is at our château near Avignon. Tim Horn is an internationally admired and collected artist who specializes in landscapes, rural scenes and man-made objects, including cars. Most of all, he is a painter of light.
We are thrilled to be hosting his painting workshop in a chateau in the south of France this September. We have asked him about why he chose France.
Is it the beautiful French countryside, the amazing light near the Mediterranean, or the funky French cars?

Did you know Alizarin, one of the most common and beloved colors in a painter’s kit, was originally a cheaper replica of another color? Until recently artist’s didn’t know that the beautiful reds they were using were fugitive and would fade over time! Many famous works have suffered the same fate of fading colors.
