Sally and David McEwen run painting workshops from L'Atelier du Soulondre, their bed and breakfast in Lodeve, France.

David McEwen is a professional artist living in the South of France with his wife, Sally. His work is traditional, rich with detail, and popular worldwide. With over a thousand completed commissions in the past 35 years, David has learned his craft well.

His mastery of drawing, charcoal, pastel, watercolour, acrylic and oil have earned him many honors including , “Master Painter of the World” by Artist International Magazine,  and “Runner-up”  in The Society of All Artists “Painter of the Year.”.

With his talent for painting and several education degrees, it seemed natural that he share his gift with others, so he and Sally, began PaintFrance workshops in 1997 as an addition to their bed & breakfast business, L’Atelier du Soulondre in Lodève, France.

Its success (evident by the amount of repeat bookings) is mostly due to the relaxed, entertaining atmosphere created by the McEwens.
