About Us:

AZENART PAINTING HOLIDAYS is a travel agency specialised in artistic travel, also known as painting holidays, art holidays, art retreat holidays, art vacations, and drawing holidays. It is registered in London, UK and owned by Marie Remond who is Franco-American. We design and deliver art holidays for people interested in spending an unforgettable week painting, sightseeing, eating, drinking, and making new friends in exciting places. We also cater to participants who enjoy drawing. Participants can be complete beginners, false beginners (people who have painted a little before), intermediate (improvers), or confirmed artists.

Our motivations. We aspire to give people who enjoy doing art and travelling a fully enjoyable week of painting at fabulous sites where they will also sightsee.

Our pluses.

  1. Our destinations. When going on one of our painting holidays, you are sure to be in the heart of the art close to where we paint for the entire week, getting loads of eye-candy without long commuting. Our destinations are top must-see spots.

    Venice, Capri, Amalfi-Capri-Pompeii, Tuscany, Cinque Terre, Sicily (Palermo), Sicily (Catania), Rome, South of France Riviera (Nice), Lake Como, French Castles & Wine Tasting, Brittany, Paris, Santorini (Greece), Dubrovnik (Croatia), Barcelona.

    We choose specific painting spots to bring our groups within these destinations where painting and tutoring can be done in serenity.

  2. Our prices! We offer fun painting holidays for a good quality for value.

  3. A fun combination of painting and sightseeing. With AZENART PAINTING HOLIDAYS, you are not only getting painting holidays with fabulous painting sites, but you will also greatly enjoy sightseeing in the magical places where we will take you.

    Please note: Our art trips are designed to give you free time to rest, shop, visit cultural areas etc.

  4. Our excursions: Our painting vacations are punctuated with some day trips where you will go to top of the notch painting / drawing spots within our destinations. More on our excursions on our painting holidays page in our top menu.

  5. Our multi-medium tutoring: On Azenart painting holidays, you can choose to paint or draw. You can choose from diverse painting mediums: Watercolours, acrylic, oil, gouache, pastels, drawing. Everyone learns at their own pace and we fully respect that. We believe in positive encouragement to teach you how to improve painting/drawing. Our tutors will do a demo to teach you techniques you’ll be able to use on our outings. There are also live demos onsite available by the tutor for those interested.

  6. Accommodation: Ideally we like to be in the quiet spots about fifteen minutes away from central places. That way, everyone is rested, and close enough to get to terrific painting spots without long commuting time. We choose comfortable hotels. Some destinations have our groups staying at villas.

  7. The food! Returning participants keep repeating it in their reviews. You will eat well on our holidays.

  8. Our group sizes. For optimised management and coziness, our groups are small, typically 6 to 12 guests + the tutor.

Are you ready for Azenart Painting Holidays? If you recognise yourself in what follows, consider yourself ready to join us!

Do you like traveling and painting (or drawing)? Do you ever feel like people around you don't fully measure your artistic capacity or interest? Like it's a secondary matter? Well, when you're on a painting break, you are in an art cocoon for a week, where everyone speaks your 'language', the language of creation, of art. No need to be a connoisseur or an art historian. You and the other participants will be like-minded when it comes to art. They’ll see, much like you probably do, everything around them as “paintable”, and look at the surroundings with the very same enchantment you have when seeing colours, shapes, reflections of water or objects... People on art holidays often ask themselves, "Why hadn't I travelled like this before?" Some art travellers are afraid of joining groups alone but they quickly realise that most participants go on art holidays by themselves, soon to make friends, and often end up keeping in contact and even doing another Azenart Painting Holiday together!
