Taking a holiday art courses can be a great way of either learning a new skill or improving an existing one. The centres detailed here tend to specialise in offering a range of painting holidays and art workshops - it could be watercolour painting, oil, acrylic, sculpture, drawing... a whole range. If you don't see the particular topic you're interested in but the school seems interesting, we recommend you still send them an enquiry and ask as they tend to be personal, flexible operations.

So too, if you're an experienced artist, you may that some of the holidays on offer will let you use the facilities, but not take the tuition thereby reducing the price. And if your partner doesn't want to partake of the art course, but does want to be involved in the holiday...no problem, they can go as a non-participating partner.

To read about what to expect on your course, take a look at the article, Painting Holiday or Art Course?
