Giverny & Surroundings June 28th - July 2nd 2021 Photography at Monet's magical gardens & tuition on photo impressionism

Your chance to photograph at Monet's legendary gardens - the inspiration behind his water lilies series of paintings - and enjoy tuition from Cheryl about how she creates her impressionist style of photography. You will have chance to photograph the gardens when the general public aren't allowed in. What could be better than 3 full days of photography in these inspiring surroundings with time, space, and expert tuition to really enable you to create your best work - photographic bliss!!

We will also have the chance to photograph at some other local locations such as the beautiful mediaevel town of Vernon with it's higgledy piggledy buildings, chateau, water mill, and stunning cathedral - the latter with gorgeous modern stained glass. Plus time to visit the Museum of Impressionism as well.
Join me for a wonderful 5 day photographic short break - and lots of lovely French food and wine as well :-)
