Sunny Villa in Chateauneuf de Grasse

Marina — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 13:52:00 +0000

And here's another commission for a beautiful, sunny villa in Chateauneuf de Grasse. I worked from photos (this is given away by the lavender and other flowering plants - not yet there in Frebruary)

...below some pictures to show how such an aquarelle is made...

I started with an overall drawing - concentrating on the perspective, not so easy, with the "rounded" poolside wall and fence (a one-hair-brush challenge)... The order is important: if you make a mistake in aquarelle you can start all over again, there is no getting rid of errors. So begin with the parts that have the greatest risk of going wrong, in my case: the sky! If that's worked out I am quite confident for the rest...

To please myself, I add a lot of detail in the parts that I'm working on, and then move on to next...

...the basic wash for the trees in the background, leaving out the white deckchairs for a sunny effect (note that you do not use white in an aquarelle, your white is the white of the paper!)...

...had to widen the pool - that is the disadvantage of using pictures, especially wide-angle ones!...

...and finally darkened the shadows, added more contrast for a sunny effect and finished the trees - and there you have the result! The sunny happy house RHF sold to the lucky new owners!

This is how we work for RHF - and what you receive when you buy your beautiful new, south-french home with them! For more information contact Jeroen Zaat of RHF Prestige

Montauroux I

Marina — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 23:45:00 +0000

A couple of years ago RHF sold a lovely townhouse to a group of friends who bought the house together. They were very very happy with it, did it up in a very tasteful way, but have now moved on to their next excellent house, in Valbonne. That's why RHF's top agent, Jeroen Zaat, has the property for sale again...

I created a painting when it was sold the first time (note the subtle change of reality here: the owners are all lawyers, so I renamed their street to Rue Avocat. Nobody noticed!)

Anyway - you are interested in the house I guess, and in the area! So I'll describe the house now - first hand, as I've visited it several times, and then the area in an other post...

It is a very comfortable house of 200m², with many original features, in the heart of the village Montauroux, with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and a terrace on the roof!

When you visit the house, you come in via the beautiful front door that opens into the entrance hall, with doors to a roomy studio, with a corner kitchen, shower-room and a toilet and one more bedroom with its own shower room and toilet.

Via an elegant staircase with wrought iron balustrades you enter the first floor: it has a patio and a large stylish living room, with a marble fireplace and a beautiful painted ceiling as well as a fully equipped, independent Provençal kitchen.

On the second floor there are two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes. The masterbedroom is on the third floor. This wonderful, light room has a large bathroom with bath, shower and toilet - and a lovely sunny terrace - with water installed.

And last but not least, the house has a basement with a large cellar...

The location, the independent studio, the terrace and the large rooms, give this house a great letting potential!

The asking price is 495.000€ and your offer is welcome! For more information: contact RHF's Jeroen Zaat...

Marina — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:25:00 +0000

My good friends Bill and Carole Lomas, who have a real estate firm too - "Maison 2", sold a wonderful 3-bedroom property in Seillans, a village in the Var... With a stunning view.

They asked me to do a painting, of the house itself, so I started a 70 X 50 cm aquarelle, on my favourite mouldmade Arche "torchon" (rough grain) 300 grams watercolour paper

I always start with the parts that I like best, and often they are the windows and doors, because there's "mystery" there! In this case, a nice, light and happy atmosphere...

Slowly working on the rest of the house - and while I am painting, my appreciation for the house grows and grows So that, after I'm finished I so want to be and stay there... but of course I can't - the new owners of the house are the lucky guys and I am pretty sure they'll be totally happy out there!

Glorious Old Nice by night

David — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:43:52 +0000

Old Nice is a fascinating and beautiful place, and especially at night :

Place Rosetti hasone of the best ever ice cream stalls with over 50 varieties (including garlic, lavender and thyme!) along with the other restaurants and cafes. All overlooked by the big and ornate St. Reparate church - appropriately undergoing ‘reparations’ at the moment.

Place Rosetti again : narrow streets and a very narrow building.

The new-look Place Garibaldi, redesigned to accommodate the trams,has got rid of most of the cars, and pedestrians can now wander safelywherever they want. Lots of interesting little restaurants here, plus the Mercurey cinema which always shows English language films IN ENGLISH.

The fabulous Palais Lascaris is squeezed onto a tiny narrow street, so you can’t stand back and admire it all from a proper distance…

Faux-marble undersides to the balconies because they’re only seen from below!

The church on the Place du Palais de Justice, nicely lit.

The old and the new.

Eglise St. JeanBaptiste : classical, symetrical.

Me, crouching over a spotlight in Place Garibaldi- well it was Halloween !!

Magnificent, authentic estate in Valbonne

Marina — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:46:00 +0000

On no more than 3 minutes walking distance from Valbonne Village there is a great property-secret that I'd like to share with you: one of the most prestigious properties in the countryside behind Cannes... A couple of years ago RHF's consultant Jeroen Zaat sold it to a lovely English family and I created the painting you see up here at the time. I remember it was hard to choose which of the beautiful parts I was going to do, there were so many! It is a stunning, completely renovated old mill (Moulin) from the 16th century - so close to the centre of Valbonne village, one of prettiest and liveliest villages in the heart of the Cote d’Azur!

The owners gave many a good party in it and I know for a fact (because I was there) that the villa and everything around it, is very appropriate for that! The main house itself has 600m² of living space and is set on a private estate of 13 acres bordering on the river Brague. It is completely secluded and every view from it is over private land. The villa has a total of 9 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, including a downstairs 'guest wing' with 2 double guest bedrooms plus a separate two-bedroom annexe.

To access the residence, you go through the private gates, that are situated 100 metres from the old village of Valbonne!

The immaculate, extensive gardens are a perfect playground for all ages. There is a large pool, heated of course, with a fully equipped pool house. A new orchard with greenhouse, along with a large new playhouse/atelier is situated on top of the hill where the new full tennis court is also situated. The river Brague is filled with fresh water trout, there is a man-made pond with fish, ducks and turtles, as well as a waterfall. A footpath runs around the entire property for a lazy afternoon walk. And just outside the property there's a large nature reserve. For the real walkers: it is a 3 hour walk along the river to the medieval village of Biot -- and the beach. You 'll agree that this must be one of the finest properties on the market today - in a very exclusive location! And it is now back on the market - Riviera Home Finders' Jeroen Zaat has it in exclusivity. If you are interested in this property or want more information you can contact him directly or via the RHF website!

There you'll find the romantic, narrow little streets, sometimes carved through the rocks. Near la Garde Freinet were - and are - chestnut groves. The town is popular by the locals and people from nearby villages as well as tourists, for their local chestnut jam (confiture marron) and chestnut honey (miel chataignier). You can buy them at the famous "Confiturerie des Gambades".

Villefranche II

Marina — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:11:00 +0000

The town "Villefranche" dates back to 130 BC. It was officially established by Charles II, Duke of Anjou, in 1295, to protect the coastline from pirate attacks. The Citadelle, the venue where "my" Salon took place, was created to defend the port and the coastline even better, by the duke of Savoy. The construction started in 1566, based on and using a quite new defense system that integrated innovations of artillery and the use of gunpowder... It is trapeze shaped, the long sides along the sea, a deep canal around it and you need to cross a bridge to enter.
In 1965 the town bought back the citadelle and nowadays it houses the city hall, museums and an open air theatre. The population of Villefranche is around 7000 - still a small town!

Inside the citadelle - an art salon going on.

Villefranche I

Marina — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 20:13:00 +0000

This week I've participated in a big "Contemporary Art" exhibition - in the Citadelle of Villefranche. I have been there every day from 10AM to 8PM and I'm very impressed by the village... It is truly one of the most extraordinarily beautiful -and happy- spots that I've ever been to.
Quite busy and lively, lots of true old french style, beautiful houses and squares with restaurants and terraces. There are several fabulous beaches, with view on small, bigger and really big boats and of course...the sun!

Our Expo was in the Citadelle, built in 1557. It is an old fortress, with a couple of museums, the town hall and an open-ait theatre. And a beautiful park and garden, where people have romantic picnics in the shade when it is too hot on the beach. Always open for everybody. It looks so real, you feel as if you enter the 16th century when you walk over the bridge. More about the Citadelle in a later post, have to go there again to remove the paintings (the expo has finished) but as you may have noticed, I like it there, very much! If Riviera Home Finders ever opens a Villefranche office - I'll be the first to volunteer to work there!

Castelleras

Marina — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 10:50:00 +0000

Just finished a painting of this beautiful Chateau - that has only one link with Riviera Home Finders in sofar that it would be a great location to have our next reception or party! Castelleras is a small village close to Valbonne and neighbouring Mouans Sartoux. When I saw the chateau de Castelleras for the first time, I thought it was a very old building, upgraded and changed through the ages, but as it turns out, it was (re-)constructed within a year - and not so very long ago: in 1927! It is built by the famous french architect, visionary and ecologist Couëlle (RHF has very exclusive villa's that he designed in their portfolio). Couëlle, who at the time was only 26 years old- used the knowledge that he had gathered, while saving and reconstructing 12th, 15th and 16th century chateaux in the Provence and the Pyrenees from their ruins...
He used the existing ruins of the 'oppidum' or fortified village where the "knights of Sartoux" once lived, to build a beautiful, balanced and very charming chateau...
The Chateau de Castelleras is now mainly used for weddings and receptions. And as you can see from the pictures, it is another great spot with that fabulous athmosphere, style and class that you can only find here, in the South of France...
