Crystal clear turquoise waters, chilly snow capped mountains, crisp white wine. These are some of the ingredients for this Art Vacation in one of the most beautiful spots in France. Other’s will include watercolour lessons from me in the morning, and a cultural trip in the afternoon, no doubt with sketchbook in hand, check out Brenda page fore more details. And when you click on the link know that I will most certainly not be wearing that ridiculous outfit at any time during the trip.

Join watercolor artist Sebastian Thommen for a week of painting, culture, and coastal charm in West Cork, Ireland. With mornings spent sketching in castles, gardens, and fishing villages, and afternoons exploring iconic sites, sea swimming, and enjoying local cuisine, this intimate 16-guest retreat is the perfect blend of art and adventure.

Join us in a beautifully restored 19th-century retreat house on a tree-lined avenue in the old town. Bars, cafés, and gelato are on the doorstep, with the waterfront, Eiffel’s market, and ferries to stunning islands just 10 minutes away. 🌊🎨
