I was looking through all the illustrations that I’ve done in the past years and noticed a big change in my style and technique. This little boat is in Hyères port. I can ride my bike there. If you didn’t know, I moved to the South of France. Paris was killing me despite the wonderful cafes. I needed to move back to the South where the sun is. And to be surrounded by nature and the sea.

Postcards from the Riviera

| Angie Brooksby Arcangioli

Life in the south of France is wonderful. After a year of life on the Riviera my hair has grown back and I don’t feel like I’m in a rush anymore. All that city stress has left me.

On Saturdays I host a cafe sketch session in the historical center of Hyères. Here are some of the illustrations that are available via my online shop.

Illustrations of my life in France are now available

In Hyères life is quiet. There is lots to do but the pace is slower than the big city Paris. People are kind and let you cross the street instead of threatening to roll you. People have time for you.

There are palm trees and beaches and sand and blue skies and stars. Lots of yoga classes. I even saw a budgie in a tree. There is a park with peacocks. The airport from Toulon is in Hyères.

The place feels like a mix between California and Italy.

Painting on the French Riviera

| Angie Brooksby Arcangioli

I never imagined I would live on the Riviera. Moving here wasn’t part of any plan, I bought a train ticket last year and in that moment life took an unexpected turn. Grey Paris lost its charm.

I moved back south to paint outdoors, like I did in Tuscany before I moved to Paris. Painting Roses in the Jardin de Gassin seemed like Alice in Wonderland might appear behind the bush. Painting in the poppies was a delight. I met a color blind photographer who could not see the poppies.

Those three paintings look wonderful together, I think you should get them, LOL! Find them here >> on Singulart.

But painting on the sea is something special. The light changes constantly. You have to paint fast and sure. It’s thrilling. Like a roller coaster ride.

Come paint with me! I teach half day workshops in the great outdoors, on the seaside. In lavender fields, in villages, in vineyards. Wherever you want to go. Absolute discretion guaranteed! I’ve worked with rock stars, politicians, and TV producers, and normal folks like myself.
