UK

The UK provides exceptional and inspiring subject matter for painting breaks. Choose from national parks, like the English Lake District or the lush valleys of Dartmoor; coastal cliffs, picturesque harbours or our rich heritage of castles and stately homes.

Europe

Spain, with its diversity of landscape, history, culture and architecture offers a bewildering choice of subject matter. Andalucia in the south is a popular destination for it’s beautiful coastal and rural scenery and of course, the great weather! Or consider a painting holiday in Tuscany, with its rolling hills, medieval hilltop villages, colourful markets, olive groves and vineyards. Not to be outdone, Provence has some of France's finest Roman remains. With its striking landscape of rural, mountain and seascapes and brilliant, clear light, this makes for an art holiday to remember.

And Beyond

If painting or drawing animals is your passion, why not take up the opportunity of studying elephants and other animals at leisure in South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. On the same continent, yet world’s apart, Morocco lies just nine miles from Europe, and offers a fascinating mix of several major civilisations; African, Islamic, Arab and European. Providing an extraordinary mix of cultural influences you will find no shortage of inspiration here. If that’s not exotic enough then you could sample the delights of an art holiday in Malawi, Cuba or even Antarctica!
