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. 🌊🎨

Join Watercolour Instructor Sebastian Thommen and Tour Manager Brenda Murray as you sketch and paint Venice (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and its enchanting islands — Lido, Murano, Burano, and San Giorgio Maggiore. This package includes 5 art classes, plein air painting opportunities, vaporetto rides, and guided visits to iconic landmarks and hidden gems alike. With daytime temperatures of 66-74°F (19-23°C), conditions are perfect for a memorable painting adventure!
