Painting holidays in Tuscany and Umbria.

Set in the inspiring Tuscan and Umbrian countryside, Artist in Italy is offering painting holidays and art workshops for people who love art, Italy, good food and wine. We are now in our fourth year and our week-long courses cover a range from painting and drawing, icon painting, photography, art workshops (including some basic printmaking) to botanical illustration.

To give you a flavour of our painting holidays, have a look at this short video.

The courses have been carefully designed for both beginners and intermediate artists who would like to improve their skills and techniques.

We are a family-run business. I am Julian, and do all the teaching, as well as running the painting workshops. My wife is called Mandy; she does everything else. We have two small children, a dog, and a couple of cats.
