Studio Italia offered by Walk the Arts is a unique mix of plein air painting, art history/theory lectures, touring and gourmet cuisine in the most beautiful area of Tuscany. In addition, we offer a teaching approach that aims to help our participants develop a personal style and an intimate and fun environment that fosters creativity.

The best time to paint in Provence is at the end of June and early July when the lavender is in its glory. This is when Walk the Arts offers Atelier Provence and Barcelona Art Tour, a unique art experience that includes a seven-day plein air painting workshop in the Alpes de Haute Provence followed by a four-day art tour in Barcelona.

Yes, the art retreats and painting holidays in Italy and France offered by Walk the Arts are suitable for artists of all levels, from beginners to advanced. Since we limit the size of our groups to eight participants we can offer personalized instruction.
