Whether you are one of our many regulars or a new adventurer, an experienced painter or someone just starting your painting life there is an Authentic Adventure to suit you.

This year we have introduced three new holiday destinations – Menorca, Lanzarote and India. All of these locations offer both painting and walking so we have not forgotten your partners.

To support our new ventures, and to give you more choices, we have also introduced three new talented, and importantly, very considerate tutors – Brian Smith, Maggie O'Brien and Caroline James.

Selecting your holiday

Not only do our tutors offer different styles, but the regions provide very different landscapes. If you feel that you need to know more about the locations, our office staff are here to help and our tutors can be contacted by phone.

Note: Some locations are hilly or involve boat trips, so please check the painting conditions on the itinerary pages.

Equipment

We supply chairs and boards in all locations. We send all guests equipment lists which are personalised by the different tutors.

What if it rains?

Rain is rare in our locations and we choose the dates carefully. However should it arrive, we have excellent facilities for working indoors. Don't forget that rain and its aftermath can offer some of the most inspiring skies and landscapes to the artist.

Friends & partners

We often have walking or photography holidays running at the same time.

How the holidays work

Before departure your tutor will phone to ensure that they are fully aware of your hopes, aspirations and any concerns you may have.

To ensure you experience the region to the full we provide minibuses. On most evenings we have slide shows, demonstrations or personal tutorials.

Our tutors

All our tutors are chosen for their professionalism and experience in teaching different media. They are extremely committed and friendly and want the best for everyone.

To enable you to judge our tutors and decide who might suit you, we include several examples of their work.

Local support staff

On our painting holidays abroad we have local support staff who are with the groups throughout the day. By liaising with the hotel, driving minibuses and helping guests, tutors are left to concentrate on tutoring. Their local knowledge enables them to find new restaurants and festivals and leads us into various spontaneous events.

Painting workshops

For those wanting to get started in painting, or perhaps wanting to try a new medium, or meet our tutors and find out about our company for the first time,we are introducing day workshops in various UK locations.

Experienced painters

Many guests enjoy the organisation and company of our holidays, while operating independently of our tutors.
