PAINT AWAY TOURS | ART WORKSHOPS & RETREATS in EUROPE

Our experience with Paint Away Tours was incredible! As the instructor, I loved that everything was scheduled to the letter. The transportation that was provided was five star!

I had the most memorable trip with paint away tours. The destinations were lovely and the variety of locations perfect for painting. Beatrice and Pauline are so delightful and relaxing. The hardest part was saying goodbye to them. They made it look effortless. Best trip ever!

Paint Away Tours provided me with such a life-enriching experience. It far exceeded my expectations. If you can imagine painting, learning, and discovering some of Barcelona’s finest cuisine, breathtaking sights and tours, good wine, and great company then you know why I can’t say enough good about them. I will book with them again!

I had a wonderful time on our recent painting tour of Barcelona and the surrounding countryside. Our organizer, Beatrice, was responsive, friendly and helpful. Our guide was very interesting knowledgeable .The areas chosen were beautiful and inspiring for painting. I especially liked Sitges and Besalu.Our lunches and dinners were excellent.I recommend Paint Away Tours highly.

I believe this small group tour of painters and photographers to Barcelona was made especially memorable due to our common interests, a most wonderful tour operator, Breatice Dunski, our guide “Cha Vee” and our painting teacher Marc Josloff. The trip took us not only to Barcelona but sites in ancient cities, the wine country, the Mediterranean coast and of course the extraordinary Sagrada Familia. It was obvious that each painting site had been vetted from an artist’s perspective.Our amiable guide sprinkled history and amusing stories throughout the trip. Painting time was interspaced with visits to museums, cooking class and a Mosaic Workshop. We experienced all kinds of paella, tapas, wines, and laughter. Beatrice, also our painting partner, was attentive to our groups needs throughout the trip and always with a smile.An adventure not to be missed.

Thank you for such a fantastic, well organized Plein Air experience! The attention to detail and the thoughtful venues allowed us to immerse ourselves into the culture and flavor of France! The support of Beatrice and Pauline was much more than just tourism.? I felt that everyone experienced the heart and spirit of their journey! I definitely will be part of another experience with them!

Amazing week of Plein Air painting in the south of France. Béatrice and her staff -Pauline, CoraLee and Phillip were great. The hotel was lovelyand the painting spots inspired.This was one of the best trips I’ve ever gone on. I can’t wait to do it again Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Just back from an excellent week on the Greek islands of Crete and Santorini where i was working as the 'art instructor'. I really enjoyed my role throughout the week and a BIG thankyou to Beatrice for the smooth operation she put together.There was plenty of variety in the painting locations ranging from Venetian harbours, hill top villages and ancient monasteries and transit to and from the locations was smooth and comfortable.The guide we had during the week, Ioanna Glypti, was also an incredible asset making my life so much easier and enabling me to concentrate on helping the students improve their drawing and painting techniques.I will definitely be recommending this trip to other students!

Amazing painting holiday in May in Crete, making new friends and even improving my plein air watercolour paintings! I would say 10 out of 10 for the whole experience, places, guide, company, tutor, driver and of course the sunshine, food and wine was the icing on the cake. Loved it .

This was an amazing painting tour! Beatrice and her team put together a fantastic agenda and I loved every minute. The painting locations were stunning and so wonderful to paint and I felt like I was in a fairytale. Our teacher Bill Graf is so talented and provided excellent instruction for myself and the group. I can’t wait to do another tour with Paint Away!
