PAINTING HOLIDAYS ON PAXOS
'SPRING PAINTING WEEK':
2 - 9 MAY 2016
"The Spring Painting Week spent in Paxos is the best
painting course I have ever been on, and I have been on
many, including California, France, Italy and the UK.
It was very well organised and the tuition was of a very
high standard. The accommodation was good and the food
and wine were excellent." - DM, Larnaca, Cyprus
"A delightful holiday in a wonderful setting with excellent company
and expert art tuition. As beginners, we were inspired
by the more able members of the small group and the
stunning scenery surrounding us."
- PH & VH, Stockport
"We
were most impressed with all aspects of our week there,
and will return for another adventure as soon as we are
back in
Europe.
Jenny Halstead is an exceptional Art tutor and I left
wanting to try all her tips, as soon as I got home."
- NM, Melbourne, Australia.
"I
would thoroughly recommend this holiday to any aspiring
artist at any level. Breathtaking views on an unspoilt
island, expert tuition and good food and wine. Plus the
new friendships to be made. Same place, same time, next
year!" -
LPHW, St Austell

Who the holiday is for: The 'Spring Painting Week'
aims to provide you with a wonderful painting
holiday where you can enjoy sketching and painting
alongside other painters in an inspirational setting. It
is
suitable for artists of all levels of experience working in most media. The holiday
is based around the delightful village of Loggos,
the smallest of the three coastal villages on the
beautiful Greek island of Paxos, but you will also spend time visiting other parts of the island.
Non-painting partners are also very welcome.
Where you will stay:
Accommodation
will be
in
Villas
Poseidon and Amphitrite,
two lovely new villas situated in the olive groves just behind Marmari and
Levrechio Beaches, and just a few minutes' walk from Loggos
harbour.
We will advise you at the time of booking, if it becomes
necessary to arrange additional accommodation, which we
will endeavour to ensure is of a similar standard and in
the same vicinity.

Please read
our
Booking Conditions and
the
Important Information
section of this website and then
complete and submit an
On-Line Booking Form.
Our painting holidays are open to people of all
ages and abilities aged 18 or over. However,
Paxos is a relatively hilly island and we
therefore do not feel that they are suitable for
anyone with walking difficulties.
Second

We will give
you a discount of £40 if you book any two
holidays or courses from our current programme.
