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.​

Friendly, relaxed workshops where you'll grow in confidence. What previous participants say:

 

"I came away feeling like I'd learned so much in just one session. Ione explains techniques in simple, easy-to-follow steps, making everything feel achievable."​

⭐ "The best art workshop I've been to." 

⭐ "Have done a number of workshops now... great value, excellent tuition and very inspirational.

⭐ "It's the first time I have understood watercolour painting."

⭐ "There was no pressure, just pure enjoyment."

⭐ "You are as gifted a teacher as an artist."

⭐ "Three hours of peace and harmony."
