Overview

This isn’t just a painting class — it’s an escape into the quiet beauty of rural Portugal. Set at a converted farmhouse just outside Porto, this experience combines creative expression with deep connection to nature. Unlike city-based workshops, here you'll be surrounded by rolling hills, birdsong, and sweeping views that have inspired artists for centuries — and still feel untouched.

What makes this truly special is the balance of gentle guidance and creative freedom. With over 22 years of landscape painting experience — and having painted scenes around the world — I’ve found that this spot holds a rare kind of magic. You’ll be supported with tips and techniques, but there’s no pressure to "get it right." This is a space to play, explore, and let your style unfold in your own way.

Also: all supplies included, a quirky farmhouse atmosphere, and warm hospitality with tea, coffee, and snacks — and you have an experience that’s as much about presence and peace as it is about painting.

What to expect

For one week only (25th-30th Aug), we’re hosting afternoons of art, adventure, and food, all set in the serene Portuguese countryside. Whether we visit a hidden waterfall or a sweeping viewpoint, each afternoon is full of surprises.

Upon arriving at the charming farmhouse, you’ll be welcomed with a brief tour to get acquainted with the space. You’ll have time to unwind and explore the property before we settle into a painting session inspired by the surrounding landscape. Depending on the day, we may paint at a picturesque countryside viewpoint or right at the farmhouse!

I’ll share tips and techniques for creating landscapes in acrylics, while giving you the freedom to follow your own creative path—this is a space for personal expression and exploration. All materials are provided, so all you need to bring is yourself and a willingness to create.

After the session, we’ll gather for a delicious meal together. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced painter, this is a mindful, enriching way to spend time in nature and step away from the pace of the city.

By the end of the afternoon, you’ll leave with a personal and lasting memento of your time in Portugal.
