"We put you in touch with people and places that will make your senses sing and dance in anticipation of more." Places we lov

e to go to
KYOTO, OSAKA & NARA, JAPAN
We sketch and paint our way around famous Kyoto, meet local artists, visit their studios and galleries, along the preserved streets of "old Japan". Stop at traditional tea houses, temples, and gardens that make Kyoto what it is today. We try our hand at traditional sumi painting under the expert guidance of accomplished local artist Saori . Kyoto flourishes as a cultural, religious and economic center with vast array of world heritage sites. We focus on exploring the art and cultural highlights of Kyoto, Osaka and Nara - A not be to missed autumn clad mountain region of Arashiyama. Boat along the river, walk the Bamboo forest and sketch the preserved streets and scenery as we go. HOI AN & DANANG, VIETNAM
The historic township of Hoi An is the "Jewel in the Crown" of Vietnam. Graceful historic Hoi An is Vietnam’s most atmospheric and delightful town. Once a major port, it boasts the grand architecture and beguiling riverside setting that befits its heritage and where the 21st-century curses of traffic and pollution are almost entirely absent. Whether you’ve as little as a day or as long as a month in the town, it is time well spent. A revival of fortunes has preserved the face of the Old Town and its incredible legacy of tottering Japanese merchant houses, Chinese temples and ancient tea warehouses – you’ll find some superb bicycle, motorbike and boat trips – and some of central Vietnam’s most enticing, bucolic scenery and beaches are within easy reach. ANGKOR WAT & BATTAMBANG CAMBODIA
Angkor Wat and the many surrounding temples are an amazing holiday destination, something to be discovered and explored. Our holidays take in all that is on offer of the grand temples of Angkor. We tour selected temples with our temple guide and travel mostly in the local Tuk Tuks - a great way to get around. Our artist takes us for daily classes and a Master Class in watercolour and pen & ink sketching. We visit the Great Lake Tonle Sap and the Stilted village, local cuisine, country farmers markets and of course there is time to relax by the pool or shop. Battambang is the old capital and offers a beautiful stay close to the Sanger River and old city area. Known for its Art community we sketch the markets, buildings and river view houses that make this place a worthwhile visit and unique art adventure. See our website for details at

Our Story

"Artists and Art lovers with a passion" If you have a sense of adventure you will enjoy these Painting Holiday experiences. Whether you are starting out or are an experienced painter with your own style, we are about sharing this experience and enjoying each others company. "We put you in touch with people and places that will make your senses sing and dance in anticipation of more." Places we love to go to KYOTO, JAPAN We sketch and paint our way around famous Kyoto, meet local artists, visit their studios and galleries, along the preserved streets of "old Japan". Stop at traditional tea houses, temples, and gardens that make Kyoto what it is today. Our accommodation is Boutique hotels and renovated and preserved wooden townhouses (Machiya) overlooking the river. We try our hand at Sumi-E painting under the expert guidance of accomplished local artist Saori . Kyoto flourishes as a cultural, religious and economic center with vast array of world heritage sites. We focus on exploring the art and cultural highlights in Kyoto like the not be to missed autumn clad mountain region of Arashiyama. Boat along the river, walk and sketching the preserved streets and scenery as we go. HOI AN & HUE, CENTRAL VIETNAM – BEACHES, SCENERY & HISTORY The historic township of Hoi An is the "Jewel in the Crown" of Vietnam. Graceful historic Hoi An is Vietnam’s most atmospheric and delightful town. Once a major port, it boasts the grand architecture and beguiling riverside setting that befits its heritage and where the 21st-century curses of traffic and pollution are almost entirely absent.
