Special Interest Groups
Short Breaks or Special Residential Holidays
We often have enquiries for particular types of painting breaks, for example landscape, animal painting or relaxing holidays with interests for the over 50s (however mountain climbing and a morning jog from our more stately guests is not unheard of). Because our courses are individually tailored we can met the needs of most people, so make and inquiry, and we will see how we can meet your needs.
