Join me for an amazing painting adventure at the Luxury Boutique Hotel Leone in Le Marche, Italy. You’ll be inspired by this captivating, medieval hilltop town. Surrounded by art and culture, an amazing coastline with hidden beaches, patchwork quilt countryside and stunning mountain ranges! This inspiring painting holiday is designed to release the inner artist for both experienced painters and beginners.
Hotel Leone is located in the historic centre of Montelparo in Central Italy. With 11 luxury, en-suite bedrooms. Bring a partner – even if they’re not participating in the painting.

We will do our very best to make sure nobody has to wait for too long but please be aware we will be picking up other members of the group whose arrival times may not necessary coincide perfectly with your own and we ask for your patience.
If you are arriving at a time that really doesn’t tie in with the group or arriving a day or so earlier we can arrange for a taxi to pick you up. The cost of a taxi is in the region of €150. If there is anybody else arriving doing the same we will arrange it so that you can share the transport costs.
Similarly for departure, for retreats the rooms are to be vacated by 10:00 on the morning of departure. Departure time will be set based on the majority of the group. Again we will do our very best to accommodate everyone.

"I've always been influenced by the power of images to express ideas and emotions. Painting is a process of discovery and decision making where disparate elements pull together until the image is clearly expressed. Ultimately my concerns are with the expressive qualities of light captured with paint.
