I attended a Paris weekend earlier this year with Annette Morris Art. It was fantastic, we really explored Paris and captured lots of memories in our sketching. Highly recommended!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience on the sketching weekend in Paris with Annette Morris. Annette led a well thought out and interesting course. I had not sketched in a long time and was a relative beginner, but I grew and was challenged in a good way during this weekend. The group size was perfect and Annette helped create a cohesive group spirit and a supportive atmosphere. This sketching weekend was a marvelous way to see a city with fresh eyes! Meeting lovely people with the same interests in art was an added bonus.

I attended a Paris weekend in April 2022. Annette put so much work into ensuring we had some wonderful and unique views of Paris to sketch, plus the usual sites. If you think you know Paris, then look again with Annette. We created lovely memories.

Just enjoyed an energetic weekend in Paris sketching with Annette Morris Art . We covered many of the best known landmarks, and managed very brief, longer, and full-length sketching sessions. It was wonderful to concentrate on drawing, without having to think about route-finding, where to eat, and locations for coffee and recuperation, because Annette had that all planned. it was fun to work with like-minded people, and as usual, we all looked at the same thing but saw something completely different. I have ended up with some memorable sketches in themselves, some sketch material to develop, and enough photographs to take me through the winter! I genuinely recommend any session Annette runs as manager: I look forward to another one myself.

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 ‍

French Village Sketchbook - August 2026
2026-08-20 09:30 - 2026-08-22 16:00 (Europe/Paris) | Quarante, Quarante, 34310, France
Join me to sketch life in France as it happens in and around this charming wine-making village where I live. This is the time of the grape harvest – the days are warm and the vineyards are buzzing with activity as local winemakers seize the moment to pick the grapes. Soak up the atmosphere and fill your sketchbook with images of local views, people, food, old cobbled streets, buildings and markets. I’ll share ink and watercolour techniques for both beginners and more experienced travel sketchers – loads of fun with line and colour!
Each day we’ll start sketching at 10am, enjoy a local lunch and then finish around 4pm.
You will need a sketchbook suitable for watercolour. I use a book with cold press 300gsm paper. My sketch kit includes a 6B pencil, watercolour pencils, watercolours, waterproof ink pens and a small portable folding stool. If you do not have your own materials a spare kit can be available on loan.
Workshop prices exclude refreshments, lunch & accommodation.

Where is Quarante?
Quarante is a small historic village not far from the Canal du Midi and located within an area of Occitanie formerly referred to as Languedoc. By car, Quarante is about 30 minutes from Béziers or Narbonne, and approximately an hour from Carcassonne or Montpellier.
I love living in this village. From the minute I moved here (over 14 years ago) I felt it had a warm and friendly character, it combines old fashioned quirks and modern day facilities to have almost everything you need to get from day to day, French style. It’s a working village that remains active all year round. There are various shops and services, schools, a pharmacy, hairdressers, post office, butchers – plus a friendly boulangerie and bustling café of course. The village, like many of this region, is surrounded by vineyards and the wine-growing culture is deeply rooted in the culture.
From a sketcher’s point of view Quarante is a wonderful place to be. If you wander into the heart of the medieval centre to find the ancient church and the fountain, the cobbled streets are so narrow a vehicle could never pass. Explore a little further and you’ll find charming properties, churches, chapels, stone walls, shutters, rooftops, vineyards and donkeys in fields – if quintessential France is something you want to capture in a sketchbook, you’ll definitely find it here.
Where to Stay
There are several fabulously equipped modern apartments in the centre of the village – please contact me if you would like more information and I can put you in touch with the owners to book directly

2 people sharing the small apartment with patio (2 beds)
3 adults sharing the larger apartment with terrace (3 beds)

There is also a Bed & Breakfast in Quarante called La Sorga de Vida – this is a Maison de Vigneron style property with high ceilings and many period features in the rooms. La Sorga de Vida is owned & managed by French couple Genevieve and Alain. Genevieve is passionate about catering so you can expect some substantial breakfasts! Evening meals can be prepared by arrangement at additional cost. There are 3 bedrooms available and prices start from 70€ per night – see reviews and availability on Booking.com.
Booking
The workshop price is 180€ which includes 3 days tuition – this excludes refreshments, meals, transport and accommodation.

Watercolour Sketching Weekend - Montpellier 2026
2026-10-09 10:00 - 2026-10-11 16:00 (Europe/Paris) | Montpellier, Montpellier, 34000, France
Ideal for: A weekend away with the girls, History lovers, Photographers, Francophiles, Foodies

Treat yourself to 3 days sketching in this vibrant, cultural and historic city – you won’t regret it! Montpellier is not just one of France’s most sought after destinations, it offers an incredible amount of sketch subjects – from majestic buildings and classic French architecture to luscious green parks, street cafés and let’s not forget the food and fabulous wine!
For this weekend break we’ll be based in the heart of the city – La Place de la Comédie. From here we’ll start by getting to grips with some of the basics of sketching on location. This workshop is ideal for beginners or a great refresher if you’ve already got some drawing or painting experience. We’ll be exploring the city through our sketches, learning a whole pack of tips and tricks about perspective, colour, adding people to your drawings and of course, making memories about this incredible area of France!
The city is known for being pedestrian and bike-friendly with close to 200 km of paths and a great tram network, so it’s easy to get around without a car. With an international airport it’s also incredibly accessible from almost anywhere – and you can also catch a high-speed train to or from Paris, or even drive from London or Barcelona!

Where to stay:
I suggest somewhere within walking distance of La Place de la Comédie. There are several hotels and apartments including:
Hotel de la Comédie
Grand Hotel du Midi Montpellier
Ibis Montpellier Comédie
Hotel Aragon
Best Western Plus Comédie Saint Roch

Watercolour Sketching - under the Spanish Winter Sun
2027-02-18 18:00 - 2027-02-21 18:00 (Europe/Paris) | Puerto de Mogán, Gran Canaria, Puerto de Mogán, Spain
Join me for a long weekend sketching in and around the beautiful Port of Mogán located on the southerly side of Gran Canaria. This small port town is an old fishing neighbourhood which has become one of the most attractive places in the Canaries. The canals and bridges of its seawater inlet have earned it the nickname « Little Venice. » Along the marina, you’ll find an assortment of restaurants and bars, while the old town area is full of quaint, Mediterranean homes and cottages climbing up the hillside. As a bonus, the temperatures in February are usually around 20-23ºC – considerably warmer than many other countries further north, including the south of France!
In these 3 days Friday to Sunday we will have great fun sketching the architecture, the boats and the impressive panoramas and features of this island forged by volcanoes. We’ll explore use of colour and composition to capture the vibrant and dramatic vistas, plus some alternative techniques when sketching in and around the market and the port. Before moving to France I lived and worked in the Canary Islands, so I’d love to share with you some special places to enjoy local cuisine and culture too!
This special weekend of colour and creativity begins on Thursday evening with an optional evening drink to meet the group and talk about plans for the coming days.
From Friday through to Sunday afternoon we will be sketching throughout the day and there will be a short break for lunch. The group may wish to eat together in the evening but that is not part of the workshop and you are free to make your own arrangements.
Where to stay
There are numerous hotels and apartments in the area of Puerto de Mogán. AirBnB has a good selection of reasonably priced apartments but booking before the Christmas period is generally advised.
Getting to Mogán
You can fly into Gran Canaria airport (Las Palmas) with many low cost airlines including Ryanair and Vueling.
Las Palmas airport is approximately 50 minutes from Puerto de Mogán by bus or car. You can take a local bus but there is also a regular shuttle transfer bus that you can can prebook in advance for added peace of mind.
What to bring:
Watercolour sketchbook, basic watercolour travel set, watercolour brush, HB/B/2B pencil, watercolour pencils, eraser, sharpener, portable sketching stool. A detailed materials list will be sent with booking confirmation or by request. Simply emailme@annettemorris.art for full details.
Workshop Price: 345€ – price reduced for early bird bookings !
