Joseph Zbukvic and Lisa Wang Watercolor Workshop in Southern France.

Estate near the Cote D’Azur France, September 21 – 29, 2026. 9-days.

Welcome to the Joseph Zbukvic and Lisa Wang exclusive watercolor workshop in near Provence east of Aix-en-Provence. 

We are delighted to invite you to an exclusive watercolor workshop in the south of France with living-masters, Joseph Zbukvic and Lisa Wang. We invite you to join these two watercolor artists in an exclusive workshop to learn from living masters at this unique location in France.

Joseph is one of the most highly regarded artists of our time. His watercolors are beautifully rendered and are full of light and atmosphere. It is hardly surprising that his work is acquired by art lovers, and his workshops sell out with waitlists; Joseph Zbukvic is in demand!

Lisa Wang has been catapulting to the top of the international art scene with her mastery of both oils and watercolors. She excels in painting everything from landscapes and statues to the human figure, powerful racehorses, and adorable cats. Lisa is a leader in the watercolor field as she takes award after award and her work is highly sought after by international collectors.

Both instructors bring something different, vital and special to this unique workshop

The 9-day painting experience begins with a 2-day indoor class from Lisa who shares how to render great paintings from photo references, so bring your tablets. This will be followed by 4 days of Joseph’s plein air classes with absorbing live demos. Joseph will share how to handle and master the medium. There will be a free day in between his classes where we all use our newly acquired knowledge to paint!

This is more than just a class; you will paint each day at fabulous locations, become immersed in the authentic French environment and truly experience the countryside of southern France. During the workshop, we will be painting on the estate, in the surrounding villages and will take a trip to the Cote d’Azur, famed for its history and beautiful scenery.

Other activities include outdoor markets, vineyard tours, a visit to Aix en Provence and the Mediterranean as well as a host of hidden villages off the beaten track. There will be demos, one-on-one painting sessions and critiques. You will explore different approaches and create art using the principles learned. You will also be plein air painting on the grounds of a historic Provençal moulin. Sound like heaven? We thought so…

Joseph and Lisa will be in residence throughout our time together.

Non-painting companions are welcomed and there’s plenty do for them to do!

Lisa Wang

Born in Dalian, China 1977, Lisa’s passion and aptitude for art was evident at an early age. In 1996, as one of the top two students from Liaoning province, she was selected to study at the Dong Hua University in Shanghai, where she completed a 4 years bachelor degree with a major in Fashion Design and won several prizes in Hong Kong、Taiwan and mainland China.

In 2002, Lisa emigrated to New Zealand and started a new chapter in her life. During her time there she developed further as an artist, and became a respected art teacher in Dunedin. She exhibited widely and received a number of prestigious awards for her work. In early 2007, Lisa moved to Australia, and started working as a full-time artist. In 2008 she completed a series of paintings featuring Victorian sheepdog trials, which were very well received by the local art community. The following year she was commissioned by the Geelong Football Club to complete a series of major oil paintings to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the club. The paintings captured key players, significant moments and passionate supporters of the club. The exhibition was on display at the Geelong Regional Art Gallery and are now part of the club’s permanent collection held at the Cardinia Park Club Rooms.

Lisa is a member of the Victorian Artists Society, and was the Vice President of the Watercolor Society of Victoria. She has had many exhibitions, both solo and group, and in recent years, she has traveled to Italy, France, Belgium, China, and Tibet on painting trips with internationally renowned master artists. Lisa enjoys working with an extensive variety of subjects, but portraits are her favourite. Her confident brush work, use of colour and ability to capture light make her paintings unique and highly sought after by art lovers and collectors worldwide.
