Highly recommended this 4 day workshop in Jouques, a beautiful village in Provence. John Louis is a fantastic artist and guided us through four days of learning expedience. Loads of fun and take home knowledge. JL and lovely wife Fiona are fantastic hosts, they also helped me and my traveling companion to put together the next week of our trip discovering lovely villages along the way.

I was incredibly lucky to spend a day and a half with Jean-Louis and Fiona this past May. They were incredibly easy to work with, even setting up a special program for me given my time constraints. And while I originally wanted to work on my watercolor skills, I had a change of heart and asked to learn about painting with acrylics. Jean-Louis is a fabulous and very patient teacher, with a very long, amazing background teaching painting and selling his work, and it really shows. I spent time on theory in the studio, then out to scout locations, spent time doing quick studies at several locations, then back to the studio to start painting. His patience and ability to help me understand concepts was outstanding. He and Fiona also took me on a tour of the town, which is a fantastic village with treasures everywhere. Fiona is lovely, and my welcome meal - and entire stay - was full of love and bonhomie. The rooms allotted to students are lovely, along with a kitchen, dining area and library that are thoughtfully designed. I am thrilled with my final canvas, and my overall stay was magnificent itself - the combination of which has me looking forward to going back for a full week next year!

What an amazing day! Sketching outside in the beautiful village of Jouques followed by an afternoon of painting in the studio. Jean-Louis is not only the most incredible artist but also a brilliant teacher being so knowledgeable and supportive. Such a friendly atmosphere in Jean- Louis and Fiona’s home. An amazing memory for me and my aunt.

A wonderful week in the heart of Provence. It has always been a dream of mine to paint in Provence inspired by the landscapes, light and architecture that has inspired so many of the great Masters. My week staying in Jouques attending the Artelier Provence Oil Encaustic workshop allowed me to fulfil my dream. Jean Louis is an amazing teacher, so patient and insightful on all aspects of painting and drawing. His wife, Fiona is lovely. Both welcome guests openly into their beautiful Provence village home, which is spacious, comfortable and well located within an authentic and beautiful Provence village. I would highly recommend adding this art course to your itinerary if your travels take you to France. You won’t be disappointed. Suitable for anyone who loves art, or who wants to be inspired for future art projects. A truly immersive , educational and joyous experience. I feel privileged to have had the experience.

My husband and I had a wonderful time sketching outdoors and painting in the studio for a day with Jean-Louis, who is clearly an experienced teacher. The historic house is beautifully redone by Jean-Louis and Fiona, and they were great hosts. I would definitely recommend this activity to any couple on vacation and would also consider the longer art retreats in the future.

I was fortunate enough to accompany my friends on their painting workshop and hence was included in all the hospitality, sightseeing, and ambience that encompasses this delightful village and Artlier Provence, The course was well structured, with excellent facilities and produced extraordinary results for my friends. Thank you for the professionalism and enthusiasm of Jean Luis and Fiona Diaz.

I am very grateful to have found Artelier Provence during my recent June visit to the area. I attended a one-day workshop at the home of Jean-Louis and Fiona. The morning was spent sketching in the open air in the beautiful town of Jouques under the expert guidance of Jean-Louis. The afternoon was spent in Jean-Louis's studio transforming a favourite sketch from the morning into a painting that I am not only proud of, but that will serve as a permanent reminder of a perfect day and the highlight of my stay in Provence. Jean-Louis is an outstanding teacher, who generously shares his knowledge with you - I gained a better understanding of the colour wheel, both its warm and cool colour combinations, and learned how to tackle a subject using different media and working from darks to lights. The goals and assurances that Artelier Provence make on their website are spot on - I left the day with greater confidence in my ability and a renewed commitment to carry on painting. And the warm welcome I received from both Jean-Louis and Fiona will never be forgotten. I cannot recommend Artelier Provence highly enough. I certainly hope to return!

My father and I had a great time at the art workshop. Neither of us are very experienced, but we both left the studio proud of our work. Jean-Louis was not only a great teacher, but hospitable as well. The day was slow but very enjoyable. It felt less like a class and more like a visit with friends. Jean-Louis and Fiona made tea and snacks for us in the afternoon, and recommended to us all sorts of activities around Provence for the remainder of our six-week stay. They were extremely welcoming and thoughtful. The experience was something I will remember for a long time. Even if you don't think you're very artistic, it's a great course! It was simple and easy to understand, but the results surpassed what my father or I had expected to be able to create. We definitely recommend!

In August, 2022 I had the pleasure of attending my long awaited art retreat at Artelier Provence and spend time in an authentic Provence village! I stayed with the artist and his wife in the village of Jouques near Aix En Provence and it was incredible. They welcomed me into their lives, made a special meal for me, took me on long hikes to see the countryside, taught me the game of Petanque, shared the local history and culture with me and took me on art walks where we photographed and sketched the scenery. I’m grateful beyond measure! The artist, Jean-Louis Diaz, who works with cold wax and oil paints, taught me some of his techniques. He's amazingly talented and I learned a lot!

The four day/5 night art retreat exceeded my expectations. The one-to-one teaching from Jean-Louis was informative, at times challenging but always confirming. As the days progress, you build your confidence, ending in my case, producing work that I wouldn’t have thought possible at the start. The accommodation is perfect Provence. Jouques is a lovely hidden gem of a village. Fiona is an exceptional host and conversationalist. They make you feel very welcome. I highly recommend the experience.
