From the moment you arrive Stephanie and Colin will make you welcome and take good care of you. We will give you all the materials you need though you may wish to provide your own favourite media. So from charcoal to sketchbooks to canvas and oil paint. If you have the desire to investigate new materials and techniques we will facilitate that need.

When booking your Art Holiday, just enter your preferred holiday dates in the drop down box and we will contact you to confirm or offer alternative dates.
Weather permitting some of your holiday will be spent working outdoors, by the sea, at the harbour or in our large garden and terraces. Every effort is made to help you to enjoy your stay with us so you can relax and discover your creative potential.
Over the years we have developed a range of courses that are directed at meeting most peoples artistic needs and creative ambitions. We provide the materials so apart from a specialised favourite media you prefer to use, everything is catered for. You will have personalised instruction at an appropriate level for you to progress at your own pace.
The approaches to teaching and learning we often employ are listed below as an example of what you might expect. We will of course be happy to discuss your interests via email Our teaching is founded upon the philosophy that ‘learning to see' is the cornerstone of developing visual awareness. So that's what we do! - we use strategies which will transform the way you think about and react to what is seen. Through this process we progress to improving the ways you record from nature and the imagination with proven and surprising results.
The Art Holidays are run over two, three or five days. Click on the link for the examples of what you can expect from the Itinerary.
