The things you are passionate about 
are not random,

They are your calling!

There is no better feeling than sitting with your sketchbook on your lap, the sun warming your back as you marvel at the brand new landscape before you. 

 

The stimulation of a different country can bring out the best in an artist — and that's why our painting workshop vacations are so popular.

​

With world-famous artists as tutors, we'll paint and sketch, go sightseeing, and explore out-of-the-way places and the legendary sights of each country we visit.

We'll sample local cuisine and talk to the people we meet on our travels, so you get the real traveler's experience. We have selected the very best painting locations and artists so that we can quickly get to work in a range of memorable painting spots.

​

Workshop retreats are a wonderful opportunity to paint with fellow artists while spending 10 days in the idyllic South of Africa while enjoying the natural beauty and bounty of the Cape Winelands. We carefully selected beautiful Wine Estates and Private Game Reserves close to Stellenbosch for your stay. Workshops are also suitable for non-painting partners and spouses.

Each day has a new destination to sketch and paint – allowing you to take your time discovering the area and its people. You’ll visit local markets and breathtaking private vineyards. Experiencing the Big 5 and, if you want, even on horseback. We ensure that painting locations all have access to our vehicles, materials, and cafés, so you’ll never go hungry, and nothing ever gets left behind.

​

If you prefer sitting at outdoor cafes, people watching and enjoying the area's charm; you’re in luck. Bring your camera to capture the inspiring surroundings and paint the sights later.

​

Traveling with us as your guides is always safe; we will meet you warmly at the airport. All transport to different venues is pre-booked and safe. You will never get left behind.

To list the highlights of this trip would do it injustice. There were so many great experiences , and everything I expected it to be, only better. Taleta, our tour organizer, was the one who made the experiences memorable. It isn't just checking off the boxes. It is filling the boxes with fun and adventure. LOVED my trip

Absolutely the best experience. Taleta is a marvel, South Africa is all you can imagine and exponentially more. The landscape and the people are extraordinary. Painting with a world class instructor who was gracious, generous and intent on supporting your work was life changing!
