Learn to Paint Holidays

Activity holidays are a great way to spend the vacation – learning something new AND enjoying a holiday away from it all at the same time. Whilst some people need the adrenalin rush and excitement of sporting or dangerous challenges to relax, others just want to have a quiet time learning new skills or techniques to pursue their hobbies. If you have a creative side, that is just waiting to become unleashed, and you love drawing or painting, but don’t quite know, how to get it right, then a learn to paint holiday might just be the ticket for you.

Learn to paint holidays are all about bringing the joy of painting to people, who love art, but also to those, who have never dabbled in painting or drawing before and don’t have the confidence to put their feelings onto canvas. A painting holiday is the ideal vacation, if you want to combine expert tuition by professional artists, scenic surroundings and good food. With a course tailored to your needs and everything taken care of, you will be able to relax in beautiful locations and produce your first piece of art to take home and show off to your family and friends.

There are a great many UK locations for painting courses and holidays, but if you want to paint in the sun, why not search our website for destinations abroad with guaranteed sunshine and stunning views. Whilst there are painting courses available all over the world, you don’t have to travel too far to enjoy great weather, first class tuition, idyllic settings and great food, as Italy, France, Greece and Spain for instance offer outstanding holidays for any budding artist. These countries have a long history of specialist holidays and expertise in the paining field.

Most painting holidays offer a range of options, such as full residential courses for one or two weeks or day courses. You will get introduced to Watercolour, Acrylic and Oil painting as well as drawing and mixed media. Every preference can be catered for from Eco painting holidays to Mosaic making courses. All the materials are, of course, included in your holiday package, and you have no extra or hidden costs for any equipment. All you have to do is relax in front of the canvas, soak up the scenery and immerse yourself in the local culture and way of life.

Painting or drawing may not be your only passion – you may want to learn several new things, whilst you relax on your well deserved activity holiday. Why not give our website a try to search for options, which let you combine your learn to paint holiday with another learning holiday, such as languages, cooking or activities like yoga or surfing. There is no end to the possibilities to mix and match your interests. Whatever combination you are after, there will be someone out there offering the holiday just right for you. So let yourself be inspired and have a creative holiday. You never know, what it might lead to...


It has been said that we are all artists,  we are all singers!   There are a few of us who doubt both of these things - but are ever hopeful and keen to try!

Choosing where you want to paint and what you want to paint is a very personal decision.  There is little point in learning how to paint the olive groves of Tuscany or the mountains of Slovenia pastels - if your ambition is to paint portraits in the back streets of Calcutta in oils.    We exist to make it simple for you!

All you have to do is decide where to go and when to go and whether it will be a family affair - because the artistic opportunities here are almost endless - you will be absolutely spoilt for choice!
