Painting Holidays in Venice

Historic and beautiful Venice is the perfect place for a painting holiday in Italy. Let the splendour of Venetian canals, bridges and baroque architecture inspire you. Venice is a city surrounded by water and the medium of watercolour can really help you to capture the fluidity of the city. Our villa is away from the hustle and bustle situated in the wine region of the Veneto near Treviso, surrounded by rolling green hills and local vineyards. Venice offers a lot of inspiration for painters and the fertile countryside of the region lends itself to landscape painting.

No matter your level of expertise, our experienced tutors will guide you through your lessons for the week, so that beginners and advanced painters will all come home with paintings to be proud of. With a sketchbook, easels and boards provided, all of the big details are taken care of for you, and Flavours will provide you with a handy list of painting materials to bring with you for your trip.



It is a great place to escape to and a little haven of peace in which to dwell for a while.

  • 5 days of painting tuition with our experienced tutors.
