Painting Holidays
In Summer 2022 we started offering painting holidays in Portugal and these have proved to be a huge success. Due to this we have now expanded and offer 6 artist-led painting holidays in Europe for Summer 2025. These holidays are suitable for all levels of artists with the majority being watercolours, except Roger’s who leads an oil-based painting holiday in Portugal.
What to expect
Join a group of like-minded artists on a teacher-led holiday in Europe where you can develop your painting skills. Everything is arranged by Friendship Travel including your flights and ATOL protection.
