Watercolour Workshops and Painting Holidays
​ 
Discover the joy of painting with Ione, whose watercolour workshops and art holidays combine creativity, relaxation, and inspiration. Join friendly, supportive sessions for day/ half-day workshops, or escape to beautiful locations abroad for immersive painting retreats. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced artist looking to explore new techniques, you’ll find encouragement, laughter, and a chance to reconnect with your creativity.​

Here is some lovely feedback from previous participants:

 

  • 'The best art workshop I've been to.'

  • 'What a great teacher you are. I enjoyed every minute of your workshop ... Thank you for giving me three hours of peace and harmony.'

  • 'I came away feeling a sense of hope that I might be able to master watercolour painting and make the kind of work that reflects how I feel about the natural world.'

  • 'It’s the first time I have understood water colour painting. And there was no pressure just pure enjoyment.'

  • 'Yesterday's workshop was brilliant! It felt very relaxed but we learned so much in a short time! ... You were so positive and encouraging and your love of the process shone throughout.'

  • 'Brilliant day – you are as gifted a teacher as an artist!' ​​
