Artistic Escapes No classes – just the joy of drawing and painting together I invite you to join me for 5 days to share, in a relaxed and simple way, our passion for watercolor and drawing. No need to be highly skilled, just come with a desire to create: here, it’s all about the joy of creating together. Learning happens through sharing and exchanging our skills. Together, we’ll explore drawing, watercolor, and travel journal creation. I am not a teacher, nor a professional artist – just someone passionate like you, who has acquired a good amount of skills and loves sharing them. Every day, we’ll discover beautiful spots around my home, perfect for sketching on location. Evenings are warm and friendly: we’ll prepare vegetarian dinners together, with everyone lending a hand – because it’s always more fun to share these moments with friends! Accommodation is in my home, in shared double rooms, for a simple and welcoming atmosphere. The stays take place in St Pern, Brittany, and are organized by the ARTS SOLIDAIRES association. Imagine: 5 days dedicated to your art; Imagine: 5 full days to build meaningful connections with 7 other women; Imagine: 5 days in Brittany – a charming place with a warm and friendly welcome. And imagine that these 5 days of pure joy will also bring happiness to people with intellectual disabilities, as all proceeds are donated to support them. Depending on your wishes and the weather, we’ll choose the week’s program together: Dinan with its medieval timber-framed houses, Saint-Malo with its iconic ramparts, Rennes with its urban vibrancy, the Brocéliande Forest with its Golden Tree, Dinard with its elegant mansions – and so much more… Here are the first weeks already open for booking. More dates may follow depending on demand – contact me quickly to reserve your stay and let me know your preferred date: July 12-17, 2026 July 19-24, 2006 Each artistic escape begins on Sunday around 6 p.m. with a welcome drink – a chance to get to know the other participants. It ends on Friday after 6 p.m. We can pick you up from Rennes train station or airport, as we are in the countryside and there is, unfortunately, no public transport available.

Sophie and Patrice My name is Sophie , I'm 60 years old, and I live with my husband Patrice in this house we've lovingly renovated together. It's a great pleasure for me to welcome you to our home, in a warm and friendly atmosphere, where exchange and sharing are at the heart of everything. I'm not a recognized artist, but simply passionate about drawing and watercolors. On a day-to-day basis, I'm a management teacher (nobody's perfect! ), but I also run a voluntary watercolor workshop for an association in Rennes, which enables me to share my passion with other amateurs and enthusiasts. With these artistic escapades, I want to offer a space where we can create together, without pressure or judgment. For me, the pleasure of drawing and painting lies in shared moments, in the beautiful landscapes that inspire us, and in the simplicity of being together. These stays are an opportunity to discover, exchange and create, while enjoying a convivial and enriching interlude. As I speak fluent english (and german) I can arrange an escapade exclusively in this language upon request. This will ensure you feel comfortable during the workshops and fully enjoy the experience without any language barriers. Patrice i s a physiotherapist, a musician in his spare time and of course in love with his native Brittany. Passionate about history, architecture and decoration, Patrice renovated this superb building with his own hands to give it back its soul. Patrice will take care of the logistical aspects during your stay for maximum comfort.

"For me, painting is the best medium for expressing my deepest feeling about how and what I think and feel about portraying the beauties of nature. My work demonstrates my in-depth understanding of painting, largely in watercolor. Watercolor is the best medium for expressing my deepest feeling about how and what I think and feel about portraying the beauties of nature. My themes vary depending on how challenging and inspiring the subject appeals to my creativity. I love to paint subjects that attract me and finding a subject is not difficult - the subject seems to find me. Observing, walking, sketching, taking photos- -all these offer creative opportunities. I vary my application of the medium depending on the subject at hand. This could either be loose washes or very fuzzy with a lot of details or a combination of lost and found edges as in soft and hard edges. I allow my creativity to flow throughout the working process without restricting myself to any reference materials either from life, a photo or my imagination. I always try to establish a connection between my works and my viewers to enable them to tell their own stories from my works. I love to paint people and places to show my varied audience the other side of the world I live in." .............AWARDS/HONORS/ PRIZES:............ • First African watercolorist to Receive the Saint Yrieix Town Prize Cash Award at the 18ème Salon international de l'Aquarelle du 22 juillet au 20 août 2023 France • First African watercolorist to Win the 1st LUGAR Prize at 2o FESTIVAL DE LA ACUARELA DE SANTO DOMINGO, CHILE, 2023 •First African watercolorist to receive the 1st Cash Prize Winner at the 15e Festival International Confluences, Aiguillion, France 2022 •First African Watercolourist to receive the 1st Award Cash Prize Winner of Prix des Peintres du Moulin (Painters of the Mill Award) at the Troisieme Biennale Internationale d’ Aquarelle de Coquelles BIAC, France 2022 • 2nd Placed Winner in the Holbein Watercolor Competition, Turkey 2020 •Honourable Mentioned Award at the 1st International Watercolor Biennale 2018.

TY GOANAG Nestled in the heart of the village of St Pern, in Ille et Vilaine, TY GOANAG was originally, in the 17th century, a priory, which brought together a few monks; In 1872, an extension was built to create the village presbytery. In the ownership of the municipality the property fell into disrepair and ruin. It was in 2012 that Sophie and Patrice fell in love with this property; they bought it with the objective of restoring it to its original beauty. Passionate about history, architecture and decoration, Patrice renovated this old building with his own hands and more than ten years of work were needed to restore it to its former glory. Stone after stone, Patrice has managed to preserve the authenticity of the place, while providing the modern comfort that is essential today. Sophie and Patrice will be on hand to answer all your requests and make your stay a moment of pure happiness.

full board watercolor courses arts solidaires artistic breaks Welcome to Arts Solidaires Here, it’s all about drawing, taking time for yourself, meeting others… and getting some fresh air. Arts Solidaires was born from the desire to create moments where people come together to draw side by side, without pressure about level or performance, simply for the pleasure of being there and looking at the world differently. I offer artistic getaways: a few days to slow down, go out and draw outdoors (urban sketching, sketching, watercolour…), share meals, exchange ideas, and be inspired by the landscapes and atmosphere of the region. These are not courses or workshops. There is no “right” or “wrong” level. Everyone comes with their own way of seeing, their sketchbook, and the wish to create and share a moment together. Through these getaways, I also invite you to discover a region I love — places that are sometimes discreet, sometimes obvious, but always inviting you to pause, observe and draw. Arts Solidaires is also an association. A simple framework to bring these artistic projects to life, support human and cultural initiatives, and create connections through drawing, creativity and shared experiences. If you are curious, feel free to explore the website: to understand the concept of the artistic getaways, to discover the Arts Solidaires association, to see the upcoming dates, and maybe imagine yourself in a future drawn parenthesis. Enjoy your visit, and perhaps we will meet one day, sketchbook in hand Sophie The place The artists The workshops the works of our interns (click on the drawing to see it in full)
