I am now offering Art Holidays in my hometown of Cardiff, capital city of Wales.
Anyone is welcome as I teach all levels from absolute beginners to more advanced improvers. I will tailor make your Art Break in Cardiff for you, to include tutored sketching & painting in the fabulous locations we have here. I can arrange accommodation to suit your taste and budget, help with travel arrangements, and can make sightseeing, cinema, theatre, and restaurant bookings too, creating the perfect itinerary for you. I can provide art materials or you can use your own.

Cardiff is Europe's youngest capital, a vibrant and attractive small city. We are lucky to have the most beautiful parks and public gardens, Cardiff being one of Britain's greenest cities. There are many splendid attractions to interest the visitor, an excellent shopping centre, a thriving theatre and arts scene and colourful nightlife. Nearby are many Castles and beaches - we are spoilt for both here!

For my tuition and guide services I charge a daily rate of £50 per person for tuition. A full week costs £350 for any course. Course content includes some outdoor painting if the weather allows, plus indoor work.

I can arrange accommodation to suit you but do not collect payment, which would be payable at your chosen accommodation. We are lucky here to have a wide range of hotels, from local B&B's to the 5 star St Davids Hotel, mid price hotels, cosy country inns, modern Bay and City view apartments, backpackers hostels, caravan parks, camping facilities - there is something to suit everyone. I can send links to various accommodations to help you choose what's right for you.
