Painting Weeks:
For those souls who enjoy activity holidays, the owner, an artist, runs 'Paint Weeks'. These are fun, informal, guided, 'plein air' painting sessions, that run over a week.
She tailors itineraries to closely fit the preferences of participants. Painting sessions can be scheduled for mornings, afternoons or both every day or just one day. An itinerary can be based on a theme or varied in topic. They can include museum visits. There is no tuition involved and all levels are welcome.
A Paint Week can be for a group as small as one individual, or as big as four. If needed, she will chauffeur drive you in your hire car or you can simply head out on your own, following the suggested itinerary. Well-behaved non-painters are welcome to tag along.
Hourly rate for planning an itinerary or chauffeur service on application.
