I would say this was 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 Conegliano was comfortable and well positioned. As well as the painting expeditions we also had free time to explore and enjoy the town. The Prosecco was wonderful”. Thank you Dermot.

Italy Painting Holiday

This was a great holiday. I loved the Prosecco Road and learned so much about painting and not just about watercolour. I am grateful for all the care you took of us. Nothing was too much trouble and that gave a very nice atmosphere to the trip. We had a lot of laughs [remember Beverley’s birthday party] and general good humour. You certainly have what it takes to ensure that everyone is happy. Thanks also to Maria. I hope the cake tins baked well. I’m looking forward to the next trip.
