Resident Artist Paint under the guidance of our resident artist ARTHUR NEAL N.E.A.C. Painting with Arthur Neal will give you the advantage of seeing how a professional artist approaches their work. You will have the time to discuss and experiment with the many different aspects of painting and drawing. Working with Arthur will be an inspiring experience.

Art Courses These courses are designed for both beginners and more experienced painters.The two tutors Lewis Noble and Vince Tutton each offer a different programme dealing with the many varied ways of making paintings in the landscape. There is a magical atmosphere at En Olivier - the panoramic views of the rolling landscape surround this 17th century farmhouse with the Pyrenees and Montaigne Noir mountains in the distance, these views do not fail to inspire.
