The country where Orient and Occident mix in a natural and creative way will prove to be a great place for painting. The offer is fairly endless : lively villages, medieval citadels, centuries old Saxon church - fortresses, colourful local markets, Orthodox painted monasteries, wooden peasant houses, peaceful and serene everyday life in small villages, traditional agriculture, yellow wheat fields threaded by red poppies, green meadows ascending towards high, rocky mountains.

You will spend idyllic days here, learning to paint and draw, enhancing your painting technique, and having a lovely time in beautiful surroundings inspired by our tutors’ and other like-minded people’s company. It doesn’t matter if you are a brave beginner, a keen amateur or a tried professional. Our skilful tutors will help you make the most of this experience.
