DESCRIPTION:Join urban sketching instructor and inspirational artist Ian Fennelly for a fabulous week of workshops in the south of France 7-11 September 2026! \nIan will be teaching in Sète\, on the Mediterranean coast between Montpellier and Béziers and often described as the Venice of Languedoc. Sète offers an abundance of subjects for Ian’s wonderful art & captivating teaching style. \nWorkshop days\nIn these workshops Ian will guide you through 1 different sketch subject each day.  Usually\, the workshop day starts at 9.30am ending at approxiately 5pm. There is a short break for lunch so you can bring a picnic with you or find a local café/boulangerie nearby. \nMaterials\nYou will need an A3 sketch pad suitable for ink and watercolour – please click here for Ian’s preferred list of materials. \nGetting to Sète\nSète is easily accessible by train and on the main line from Paris.  Local / regional airports include Montpellier\, Béziers\, Nîmes and Perpignan. Toulouse or Marseille are also options but slightly further away.You can fly direct to Béziers with RyanAir or with other airlines to regional airports. Sète has a central train station which serves the high-speed trains from Marseille\, Paris\, Bordeaux\, Toulouse & Perpignan. \nThe train station is located by the old fishing port ‘La Pointe Courte’.
