European Locations

Each year we organise a variety of art and cultural trips throughout Europe. Previous locations have included Paris, Giverny, Amsterdam, Florence and Venice – Scroll down for more information!

Our small group trips are designed to provide an opportunity to enjoy the best food, music, wine and art offered by Europe’s most inspirational cities with like-minded travellers. Throughout the trips we take time to explore the history of our location, sketching and photographing their most atmospheric and beautiful sites.

Michael is on hand throughout to offer advice and tutorials on sketching, for seasoned-artists and ‘non-artist’ friends or spouses! Our accommodation is chosen for its convenient location and historic significance – often ancient Palazzi and Monasteries!
With nearly a decade of experience and many local contacts, we aim to give you a fresh and authentic insight into some of the world’s greatest cultures.
