I am British (but I speak French too) and I live in Languedoc (now known as Occitanie), an area many consider to be 'the real' south of France.
In my online workshops I'll help you find ways to embrace your own creativity, and find and develop your own artistic style. Whilst learning all sorts of sketching and watercolour techniques, you'll pick up plenty of nuggets about 'la vie française' (or lafranglaise!) as well.

Why not add a taste of France to your sketchbook?!
- No flight tickets or travel insurance required
- Relax and have fun doing something JUST FOR YOU!
- Learn more about sketching and using watercolour
- Get feedback & ask questions at any stage of the course
- Connect with a friendly community of aspiring artists in a private Facebook group
- Step into living life in a fascinating corner of France

The instructor did an excellent job explaining her process and my initial drawing proportions were better than usual for me. I will try her techniques on other drawings.

I thoroughly recommend Annette’s informal courses. Great for beginners like me. I took art at school but that’s where it stopped. Thanks for the encouragement Annette

My wife Heather started zoom sketching classes with Annette Morris of Sketch Languedoc during the lockdowns in the UK. She was thrilled with how quickly Annette’s teaching yielded results. However, nothing is as much fun as being outside in the fresh air in a beautiful Covid safe setting. If you are in the area, don’t miss her brilliant workshops or sign up for her Zoom classes online.

I went with very low expectations but a secret hope that I might actually be able to do this – Annette said everyone can draw – and she is right!! I did and I can!! Thank you Annette for giving me the confidence to just go for it . We were so lucky that we had a beautiful sunny day (and a fab lunch sitting outside ) Lagrasse is a fabulous location to sketch too.. Annette makes you feel totally at ease and it was lovely to go with 3 other fun lovely women too ! Looking forward to more classes please soon

Just home after an amazing sketching trip to Paris with Annette and a fabulous group. Can’t recommend this trip highly enough! It was a brilliant experience seeing Paris as a sketcher. Lots of opportunities for quick sketches, photographs, interspersed with sightseeing whilst walking and bus trips but plenty of stops for refreshments at some fantastic cafés and restaurants. Annette made the weekend such a special experience with attention to detail, making sure we had a memorable trip seeing lots of what Paris has to offer and have many lovely memories – and sketches- of a great weekend. Looking forward to adding to my sketchbook now that I’m home. Thank you so much Annette

Frequently Asked Questions
Any! You don't need any previous drawing experience to join and enjoy these workshops. Each workshop is step-by-step, and you have the opportunity to ask questions and get personal feedback from me throughout the course. If you already have sketching and painting experience, there will be plenty to help you progress your skills further, and rapidly expand your personal 'sketching toolbox'!
Not many! As someone who often sketches on location and likes to travel light, I try to keep materials to a minimum. My recommended 'go to' items are listed in the Starter Kit below and as a rule, as long as you have a sketchbook and something to draw with, you can get started straight away!
This class is self-paced class and once purchased, access to all lessons will be yours indefinitely!
Ecourse purchases are not refundable. However, if you purchase this workshop as a gift and the recipient has not yet accessed the course and would prefer to do another workshop in my online library, the fees will be transferred and any balance/additional fees carried forward as appropriate.

Finding Your Personal Sketching Style
My aim is not to teach you a particular style, a particular method or even to paint one particular view or object.
My main aim is to give you the techniques and inspiration, and to help you feel more relaxed and confident in your creative journey, to help you grow as an artist towards ... wherever goal YOU want that to be - keeping the colours bright and the mood light!
I'm really looking forward to to helping you on your journey!
