3. Art Safari (India)
The splendour and the magnificence of India is a feast for the eyes of any art-lover. Explore the city of Delhi with its wonderful colours and energy, or sketch the Taj Mahal in all its glory. But you can also, since India is the land of Yogis, add a couple of days of yoga and meditation to stimulate your soul.

4. Watercolour Painting in New Zealand (New Zealand)
For a chance to draw the land of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth, why not go on a watercolour painting holiday in New Zealand. Located in the North Island, this week long holiday encompasses trips to the various islands and harbours of Auckland.
5. Painting Holidays (Japan)
For a taste of the Far East, why not immerse yourself in the culture of the Land of the Rising Sun with a watercolour painting holiday.
With opportunities to sketch the old town quarters of Kyoto, draw the impressive Osaka Castle and visit the local markets, this holiday is the opportunity to improve your skills and also capture an ancient way of life that is fast disappearing with the march of modernity.
