Join me in Morocco for a 9 day painting holiday

Visiting Morocco has been on my mind for years! The vibrant colours, the culture, the architecture and landscapes - all so different to anything I've ever sketched before. I'm really excited to announce that, together with Tedrart & Morocco Ecoway, I'm planning a painting holiday for this October.

9 days painting in Marrakech & Essaouira

We're putting together a wonderful itinerary starting and ending in Marrakech, and with 7 days in the historic fortified port town of Essaouira (with it's UNESCO heritage old city). There will be traditional artisan markets, old ports, boats, little alleyways, mosques, sea and beaches. There will be camels and goats. There will be luxury accommodation and wonderful local cuisine shared together. And, of course, we'll put putting all of this into our sketchbooks!

Proposed dates : 01 - 09 October 2023
Estimated cost : approximately US$ 2,900 pp
Cost will include luxury accommodation, daily painting tuition from me, an English-speaking local guide, all local transport, all meals and drinks. Maximum group size 15.

Details will be finalised soon.

Interested?! Contact me and let me know if you have any questions.
