An unforgettable experience in the middle of the Tuscan countryside: feel the pleasure of drawing and painting in a charming hilltop retreat in Chianti, nurture your talent and indulge yourself with regenerating moments filled with creative energy, peace and nature.
Join expert oil painter and tutor Vicki Norman for 3 days of exclusive access to the incredibly beautiful house and grounds of Acton Scott Hall in rural Shropshire. Take advantage of a rare opportunity to visit and paint the characterful private Elizabethan home of the Acton family. You will be spoilt for choice of subject with stunning architectural features, delightful gardens, summerhouse, Church and woodland walks to choose from. Take your time and unwind amongst the ancient trees and broad Shropshire vistas as you spend a full 3 days painting the beautiful surroundings.
Following in the footsteps of the famous painter of Kasbahs, Jacques Majorelle, a unique and fascinating experience waits for artists and adventure lovers on this new Art Safari.
Your artistic journey starts in the captivating red city of Marrakech and traverses centuries old caravan routes across the high peaks of the Atlas Mountains. Enroute, you’ll encounter Berber mud villages, magnificent Kasbahs, and discover mesmerizing landscapes with dramatic canyons and rock formations, softened by lush valleys and palm groves.
Where better to study painting on location than in the home of some of Britain's best loved plein air painters? West Cornwall offers a unique quality of light and stunning coastline that has attracted artists for two centuries. The fishing villages remain as characterful as ever, and the beaches are still as idyllic as they were when the Newlyn School was founded, almost 140 years ago. This is one of my favourite places to paint, and I can’t wait to share its treasures with a group of up to 10 people.
