Our painting holidays for 2023
Why not join us for a painting holiday in the South of France? All our artist’s holidays are for artists wanting to learn or improve their skills. Our groups are mix of solo travelers as well as friends and couples. To ensure individual attention, we keep the painting groups to 6-8 people. (Non-painting partners are welcome in addition).
In 2023 in addition to our painting in the South of France holidays, Simon will also be tutoring a holiday in Greece on the Islands of Crete and Santorini in partnership with Paint Away Tours. At the end of September we will be heading off to the “Nearest, faraway land – Morocco” to offer you this adventure of a lifetime. So, if you want a wonderful mix of holiday and painting, getting to know the islands of Greece, the beauty of the South of France, or the adventure of Morocco, get in touch.
Want to organise a larger group painting holiday? Please get in touch, we can put a bespoke package together specifically for you, including additional tutors if necessary.
