Painting in Spain

7 Nights and 8 Days Singles Painting Vacations in Andalusia, Spain

Andalusia offers painters inspiring seascapes, wild countryside, mountain views, and an idyllic climate for a perfect painting holiday. Our Andalusian base is the beautiful Il Palacete villa, set deep in dramatic hilly countryside, yet only 30 minutes’ drive from the coast. It’s private and peaceful, with spacious gardens, a pool and tennis court. This picturesque mini palace, full of charming historic details, dates back to the 1400s.

It’s a wonderful place to paint, with the aid of your experienced tutor who will offer techniques and tips to capture the essence of Andalusia, no matter whether you’re a novice painter or an old hand. We’ll venture out with sketchbooks to a pretty local town, private beach, and to the spectacular Alhambra Palace and city of Granada.  Meals are included, cooked by a private chef, and we’ll also dine at our favourite Spanish restaurant in a nearby hillside village.
