Are you looking for the perfect painting holiday in Italy offering a variety of courses such as watercolour, acrylics and oil painting? A painting holiday with excellent tuition in a beautiful environment and with friendly and professional hosts.

Pheona and David welcome lovers of painting, art, nature, Italy and all things beautiful, to our idyllic home, set in theTuscan-Emilio National Park amid the breath-taking scenery of the local countryside.

We offer art holidays and courses throughout the year and will tailor the course to suit our guests. You can look at our calendar for a rough idea of dates, but we find that, as our students come from all over the world, they arrive on different dates and stay for various periods of time. This is fine by us and we will do our best to accommodate you at the time that suits you.

Also, as Pheona is a very experienced artist and tutor in a wide range of art mediums, and to a very high level, she can teach or help you in your artistic endeavours whatever level you may be, from beginner to very advanced.
We offer specific art vacations or courses for beginners in water-colours, acrylics and oils, and also portraiture and life-drawing

Really, everyone can learn to paint or draw given the right tuition and encouragement and it is amazing the skills you will learn in only one week.

We also like to give you a taste of real Italian life and so visits to the local market, pasta making, going to local 'festas' and trips to nearby places of interestcan be included in your holiday.

All paintings and photog raphs on the web site are by Pheona unless otherwise stated.

LEARN or IMPROVE

We also offer walking holidays and outdoor holidays too.

We are friendly and helpful and ultimately want you, as an individual, to have as enjoyable a painting holiday as possible. We have other skills and facilities so have a good browse through the web site and see all that we offer. Any questions - please ask.

AUTUMN Newsletter 2011.....from Pheona & David We have had a beautiful summer and autumn again this year. Even now, at the end of November, every day is sunny with temperatures up to 18'. There is a light frost at night, but it has burned off by 9am. The trees have retained their leaves well - such glorious colours! We even have flowers in the garden! The first photo below is our little hamlet of Bedogno. September saw us winning 3rd prize in a local raffle. The prize was a 'forma' of Parmesan cheese which we collected from the local cheese making factory. Fortunately they gave us it in 40 vacuum packed packages of about 1 kilo each. It will take us quite a while to get through this. What a great prize! Our address was Via Secchiello 17 until very recently. However ,we have been renumbered and are now number 27. In true Italian style with attention to detail, every house has its own individual ceramic number plate with the address on it. We have also changed our business email address to a gmail account. It is now artholidaysinitaly27@gmail.com. Our students have produced beautiful paintings whilst they have been here. We include just a few below as we feel very proud of the amazing work that is produced here. Remember, if you are looking for a nice xmas gift we offer gift vouchers for our art holidays. Finally, some photos which we find part of the amazement of living in Italy. All taken this week! (23rd November) Butterfly on a calendula. Morning frost on a rose. Orange berries of the Pyrocantha Late afternoon It is truly beautiful every day. Pheona & David
