Painting Holidays in Alderney
Discover the untamed beauty of this small friendly island and let it inspire you to produce delightful drawings and paintings under the supervision of Ann Hopewell, who will be your tutor during your holiday.

The course is suitable for the beginner to the experienced and we invite you to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and delight in the outstanding beauty that the island has to offer.

The Alderney holiday is based on painting outdoors and will consist of small groups (max. 12) to ensure individual attention. Each day we have chosen locations of special scenic interest.

We hope that Alderney will live up to its reputation for fine weather, but just in case we also provide a studio where we meet for demonstrations, discussions and to complete our work.

You will have enough spare time to explore the island so be sure to carry your camera with you as Alderney is a haven for wildlife. Look out for black rabbits, the blonde hedgehogs and seabirds such as puffins, fulmars and guillemots.
