Ray Roberts and Peggi Kroll Roberts Painting in Provence Workshop

It’s a painter’s dream: being instructed for 10 days on a historic Provençal Château Estate by the husband-and-wife team of master painters Ray Roberts and Peggi Kroll Roberts. 

In this outstanding workshop, students will be divided up into two groups and rotated, so that they will take instruction from both Ray and Peggi and gain a unique set of skills from each of these acclaimed artists. Instruction and accommodations are in an 18th-century estate, containing its own river and traditional mill. You will be able to venture out with the group and capture landscapes and scenes of life in France in the surrounding countryside. In addition to obtaining painting skills, you’ll also enjoy a full-immersion Provençal experience. 

Both Ray and Peggi are in high demand as instructors and have workshops that generally sell out as much as a year ahead of time. For both devoted and new students, this is a unique opportunity to learn from them firsthand, up close and personal. Imagine spending 10 days in the south of France, living under the same roof as this dynamic duo, not only as students but also as fellow artists, being able to spend time painting by day and discussing art and life over dinner and a glass of the region’s famed Côtes du Rhone. 

Workshop attendees will also be able to walk in Van Gogh’s footsteps near the villages of Les Baux and St. Remy. You’ll be able to explore the hilltop villages of Gordes and Rousillon, visit vineyards to taste the local vintages, and shop at Provençal’s greatest antique and outdoor market, as part of your retail therapy.
