Workshop retreats are a wonderful opportunity to paint with fellow artists while spending time in any of our wonderful locations; all while enjoying the natural beauty and bounty of your surroundings. Read our guest reviews and find answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

Wonderful guests from countries and continents across the world have joined the workshop retreat experience including painters, photographers, writers, sculptors and glass artists. Workshops are also suitable for non-painting partners and spouses.

Each day has a new destination to sketch and paint – allowing you to take your time discovering the area and its people. You’ll visit local markets, breathtaking private vineyards and hilltop villages that are off-the-beaten track in France and Italy, moody castles and the stunning countryside of Scotland, and the green views and charming villages of Ireland. We ensure painting locations all have access to our vehicles, materials and cafés, so you’ll never go hungry and nothing ever gets left behind. 

If you prefer sitting at outdoor cafes people watching and enjoying the charm of the area, you’re in luck. Bring your camera so you can capture the inspiring surroundings and paint the sights later.

After our chef prepared dinners, we take up various painting related topics for discussion and demos.

Dinners, ground transportation and accommodations are included. Price is based on double-occupancy. Single rooms are available. Discounts are available for spouses or partners (painting or non-painting). Airfare is not included.
