Creative holidays made with loveWe organise everything because it allows you to focus on your learning experience.
All our drawing holidays are for small groups, giving you one-one support with your drawing and painting while having a relaxing and creatively rewarding holiday. We take you to draw in places that will inspire and challenge you. In the evenings we have structured, informal tutorials where we talk about drawing, idea development and related issues. You will get individual support with all aspects of your drawing practice, sketching, painting and, if relevant, your design and concept development. Our aim is to promote individual and sensitive responses to new experience. |
And if you are a beginner that's no problem. We tailor the drawing tasks to suit your level of confidence and ability, in order to help you grow. We have expert knowledge of our locations and so we can reward you with the best activities and authentic experiences each destination has to offer. Art holidays are a sensational way to meet like-minded people, and work equally well for solo travellers and groups of friends. We have some exciting new ideas for next year including drawing in Chernobyl and a trip we're calling the Northern Loop which will take us by train from Lithuania to Estonia via, Russia and Finland. Please let us know if you're interested! Meanwhile see below for our forthcoming unique drawing destinations.
