Stop press: this course is now booked but if you want to be on the list for future courses, contact Marianne
Spectacular views, wonderful food, lots of fun with painting and drawing
28 August – 4 September 2026
At The Old Olive Press, Terenzano, Tuscany
Two glorious one-week courses in the north Tuscan hills in Italy – spectacular locations, fabulous food, and Marianne’s excellent tuition, in a small and friendly student group. Come and enjoy this brilliant holiday, no need for painting experience – this is an opportunity not to be missed! Partners welcome. The holiday comprises all your food, accommodation, local transport in Italy, plus all your tuition, and all for a competitive price – £1650 single, £1500 double per person (either one couple sharing, or 2 twin beds).
Previous courses have been really good fun, everyone says how much they enjoyed themselves. There’s always been a lovely and lively mix of people, doing drawings, watercolours and acrylics. Although it’s many months till next August, it’s not too soon to start planning, so if you are interested, email Marianne and she’ll keep you informed. No need to commit just yet, but if it looks like getting busy, Marianne will get back to you!
Booking is via Peter Roberts, who hosts our courses. Please see his website for full holiday details:
