Chateau de Rocamadour

Visiting the amazing medieval town of Rocamadour is always a highlight day of my retreats in France in June. There's a castle, a huge cathedral and a very charming village along the bottom. A lifetime's inspiration.

Because there is so much to explore, most of my students very rarely paint here. But this last visit, I did stop near the top of the village to sketch the chateau with one of them. Looking back at the sketch in my sketchbook, I knew I'd like to do the scene again, this time in the comfort of my studio and a painting, not a sketch.

So here it is - a wonderful castle for you to paint along with me.

Happy painting!
