Painting Holidays

Painting in the French Pyrenees

A 7-day painting holiday to Jurancon, South West France.
June 21st - 28th, 2025
During this painting holiday the emphasis will be on creating work that captures the sense of space and mood of our delightful surroundings, and producing paintings that are both loose in style, and enigmatic in atmosphere.

Kevin Scully will be giving plenty of demonstrations as well as providing individual guidance in choosing the right materials, choosing a composition, tonal arrangement, and suitable colour schemes during the week to help you produce some exciting paintings.

Whether your favourite medium is oils, watercolours, acrylics, or pastels, the retreat is for painters of all levels of experience, and non-painting partners are more than welcome to join you.
