Painting Classes at Giverny or surrounds in English please!
Being huge Monet/Impressionist fans, we are planning to spend 3 days at Giverny and its general area this July. We are hoping to do a 2-3 day painting course if possible. Most courses seem to be 7 days long and in French. Any leads on painting classes (2 kids and 2 adults) for a 2-3 day period conducted in English?
Depending on that, any suggestions on where should we stay - Giverny/Rouen or somewhere else? We are not planning to drive.
Merci!

I think that would be very unusual to find the classes you want, and children and adults are not usually in the same classes.
They seem to have a page about this on the Giverny website
http://giverny.org/peindre/#ArtStudy
The Chinese ones look interesting and maybe the only possibility, as the Artstudy is a week or more. If I were you, I might forget this idea and just enjoy your visit as a regular tourist. You'd need to have all kinds of art supplies with you, anyway, if you did that. And then what would you do with the results?
FWIW, here is a woman in Paris who has what you want, you can arrange a day trip with her for painting at Giverny for around 500 euro for a group up to 4.

She doesn't mention English but given her webpage has a section in English, I suspect she must be targeting English speakers, also, and may know English well enought to teach it.

Thanks - I managed through the tourist guide website get in touch with a small B&B near Vernon to do a painting class in English though at her own studio followed by a guided tour of Monets gardens over three/four days. My concern now is that a day trip to Rouen seems too short!
