Italian Painting Holidays & Painting Courses

Flavours Italian Painting holidays provide beautiful surroundings and inspiring tutors to stir one’s creative imagination. Whether you are painting for the first time or are more experienced, you will relish the experience of working from life, “en plein air”.

• Recreate the dramatic landscape of Tuscany, Umbria and Sicily, using watercolours, pastels and charcoal.

   

• Sketch the medieval towers of San Gimignano, the spires of Florence, the markets of Syracuse, or simply capture the Italian culture and way of life.

   

• Present your work to your fellow artists, while indulging in good conversation and authentic Italian food and wine.

   

Return home with a revitalised passion for painting not to mention new friends.  

Our painting holidays in Tuscany, Umbria, and Sicily are taught by our tutors Penelope Anstice, Jenny Smith, Catherine Sargeant and Jane Mitchell.

If you're interested in one of our painting holidays why not read our blog post about 'How Florence makes people swoon - literally!' Let Flavours take you to a city that is so saturated with beautiful buildings and artworks that people literally faint from sensory overload – a recognised medical condition known as ‘Florence Syndrome’.
