Join Dermot for a magical 7-night Painting Holiday on Italy’s spectacular Amalfi Coast. This famous coastline stretches for 50 kilometres along the southern edge of Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula, with sheer cliffs and a rugged shoreline dotted with small beaches and beautiful pastel-coloured fishing villages.

Stay and paint in picturesque Positano, and let Dermot be your guide and tutor on art excursions to his carefully chosen painting locations. Travel along the dramatic coastal road, past grand villas, terraced vineyards and cliffside lemon groves, en route to clifftop Sorrento and enchanting Amalfi.

Dermot’s expert tuition, guidance and organisation allow artists of all levels, from complete beginners to experienced painters, to relax and enjoy creating beautiful artwork in this unforgettable setting.

Dermot arranges everything, allowing you to simply relax, paint and immerse yourself fully in the wonderful food, culture, scenery and charm of the Amalfi Coast.

Back at base in Positano, immerse yourself in the town’s ambiance and charm, admire its oldtown centre, enjoy group dinners and toast the day’s achievements with a glass italian wine. This is more than just a painting holiday — it’s a journey through the colours, tastes, and textures of the region, guided by Ireland’s most beloved TV artists. With Dermot’s help, you’ll capture the beauty of the Amalfi Coast in your paintings, and return home with new skills, new friends, and memories to last a lifetime. With only limited places available – early booking is advised.

Rachel from Yorkshire said: “I would say Dermot's breaks are the gold standard of painting holidays. Many thanks to Dermot for teaching us to paint in such an enjoyable way. Even those participants who were experienced artists learned a lot. The hotel in was excellent, comfortable and well positioned. As well as the painting expeditions we also had free time to explore and enjoy the area. The food was delicious and the local delights wonderful”. Thank you Dermot.
