This is one of our favourite locations in Italy.
Its a great place to learn to paint plein air and has a fabulous air conditioned studio as our base.
We offer a combination of working from life and developing paintings further in the studio.
Our main aim is to paint in the beautiful countryside around us, the long views, and the beautiful buildings and one of my favourite places is sitting quietly in the vineyard or olive groves soaking up the atmosphere while painting nature.

There were inspirational views of Naples’ Bay to sketch and paint, from the hotel. Painting trips provided diversity in the ruins of Pompeii, the gardens of Ravello, the churches, and the ancient streets of Positano and Amalfi. Expert tuition was provided by our hosts Janet and Peter. A delightful trip.
