Advance 2012 Overseas Course Information

We are delighted to offer two eight-day painting courses in Venice.  One in May with Robert Brindley and one in September with Soraya French.

In between our Venice visits we will be running an eight-day painting course in Dubrovnik (22nd-29th May)with Derek Daniells followed by an opportunity to join Watercolour tutor Steve Hall painting around the beautiful Northern Shoreline of Lake Garda.

Early booking is essential as our courses abroad are very popular.

Painting Course in Venice with Robert Brindley
Painting Courses Abroad >>

Venice has been seducing artists for centuries - it has a timeless quality which is both magical and unique. To paint in Venice is truly an unforgettable experience.

Under tutor Robert Brindley's expert guidance you are invited to join us painting in the media of your choice as we visit our carefully chosen painting locations. Robert will organise a structured daily painting format which will include demonstrations in watercolour, group tuition and one to one guidance as appropriate.

We will be staying at the Hotel Riviera on the Lido which enjoys stunning views across the water to Venice itself. The hotel, which offers stylish public rooms and a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere, is ideally situated for the waterbus which takes us into Venice each day.

On all courses the tutor will organise a daily painting routine with demonstrations and one-to-one guidance as appropriate.
