About the event
Whether you want to learn to use watercolours, practice, improve your skills or gain confidence, I am sure this kind of break will have something for you.
I propose a series of morning and afternoon sessions using pencils, pens and watercolour paints to capture the local area painting 'en plein air'.
Depending on your requirements, the mornings would be spent learning a new skill, with the afternoons outdoors practicing.
Groups are limited to a maximum of 8 people and materials can be provided if required.
We can help you find local accommodation which best suits your needs. Village houses can be great for their central location, but oftern people may wish the tranqulity and space of a house witha pool within easy reach of Monflanquin.
Costs
Costs vary depending on the number of people and the materials required. Let's talk about it - send me a message, there's no obligation.
All details above are accurate at the time of writing (April 2026), but are subject to change.
Would you like to buy this as a gift for someone? Let me know in the 'Message' field below and I can send you a payment link and a personalised gift certificate in the recipient's name.
