Join TV artist Dermot Cavanagh for a spectacular 7-day Painting Holiday in Slovenia, a country renowned for its majestic mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and emerald rivers. Nestled between Italy’s Dolomites, Austria’s Alps, and Croatia’s Istrian peninsula, Slovenia offers a breathtaking blend of dramatic alpine scenery and charming cultural influences.

You’ll paint in unforgettable locations including the Julian Alps, the turquoise Soča River, and the iconic lakes of Bled and Bohinj—each providing stunning subject matter and endless inspiration. Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana, with its Baroque architecture and vibrant café culture, is often described as a miniature Vienna and proudly holds the title of Europe’s greenest capital city.

This modern, sophisticated, and dynamic country reflects centuries of influence from Roman, Byzantine, Venetian, Austro-Hungarian, and French empires, creating a rich cultural backdrop for your artistic journey. Dermot invites you to join him and experience a truly captivating painting holiday that will live long in the memory.

Dermot will provide plenty of hands-on guidance and instruction, sharing crucial techniques and helpful tips through his daily exercises. Whether working in watercolour or Pen & Wash, you’ll gain confidence in portraying a variety of picturesque local subjects. With many years’ experience arranging European painting holidays, Dermot structures each session to be relaxed, informative, and highly entertaining.
