HF Holidays Art Brochure

HF Holidays Art breaks offer creative holidays for all skill levels, from complete beginners picking up a brush for the first time to experienced artists looking to develop their technique. Based across HF Holidays' network of country houses and overseas destinations, these breaks combine expert tuition with inspiring surroundings and a friendly, sociable atmosphere.

Creative Breaks for Every Ability

Whether you have never painted before or you already have sketchbooks full of work, HF Holidays Art holidays are designed to meet you where you are. Tutored sessions cover a wide range of disciplines including watercolour painting, landscape painting, drawing, painting with pastels, and sculpting, so there is always something new to try or a familiar medium to deepen your skills in.

Inspiring Locations at Home and Abroad

Art holidays with HF Holidays take place in some genuinely picture-worthy settings. UK breaks are hosted at the company's own country houses, while overseas programmes have included landscape painting in Italy and art appreciation holidays in Malta. The combination of comfortable house-party accommodation and scenic surroundings gives participants both the space and the motivation to create their best work.

What to Expect on an HF Holidays Art Break

Guests are guided by experienced tutors and work alongside fellow enthusiasts in small, supportive groups. The sociable house-party format means shared meals and evening conversations are as much a part of the break as the painting sessions themselves. No specialist equipment is needed to get started, and the programme suits solo travellers as well as those coming with a friend.
