2024 programme details...
Inspired Painting Holidays include both studio sessions and location visits
to landscapes and gardens of the local area. You will have individual
attention from a professional artist and experienced tutor as part of
a very small group.
More about tuition
What our students say about us
For the courses we use two bright artist’s studios, formerly a
tailor’s shop and workshop. You have your own space to work
here during your stay and can bring your own choice of paint medium on
most courses.
More about the studio
Outside visits are usually full days in various beautiful scenic spots in the area. Devon and Exmoor are rich in inspiring landscapes, beautiful
gardens, historic buildings and coastal views.
More about our location
Accommodation is in our two houses in the centre of Bampton and most meals
are included in your course fee. Non-painting partners are welcome too!

Catherine and Peter, thank you for your care, enthusiasm and inspiration. I loved meeting everyone and enjoyed our art sessions in friendly Bampton. You leave me with a peaceful aura and a quiet smile. A 2022
Thank you for a wonderful weekend. I arrived with great trepidation but left totally inspired. Your gentle positive instructions has made me see watercolour painting in a new way. Fantastic hospitality, great food (Peter coped brilliantly with my, and others food fads), lovely house, beautiful garden and met some new friends - what could be better! Jane 2022
Thank you both for a very happy painting holiday. Thank you Peter for all the delicious dishes, and coffee on the lawn. Catherine, thank you for your supportive comments with my struggles with pastels- I will use them in the future as well as watercolour. HF 2022
