These are painting-focused programs, built around watercolor, gouache, or other painting techniques depending on the artist-teacher. Our watercolor painting vacations pair daily instruction with sketchbook work or loose sheets, building toward the same travel journal format that runs through every Blue Walk program. The way light moves across a hillside, the color of the water at a specific hour, the texture of a weathered stone wall—these become part of your practice in a way that working from photographs never captures. Work on a terrace overlooking the sea. Paint in a garden behind a medieval church. Let the destination set your palette.
