This is a very special experience for solo travelers, couples art groups or friends.
Fully guided, Unique & Personalised and every sketching day to a different location.
Perfect for all levels of sketching and I work with you however experienced you may be.
We do quite a bit of walking as you can imagine so do make sure you’re up for it.
Although we’re mainly sketching, we like to discover quiet fascinating little out of the way corners, intriguing little art shops, bookshops, festival masks and novelties and good little cafes for a coffee and nibble or lunch.
One of the fun things we do is a night sketch at Cafe Florian in St Marco Square while listening to the music and having a cocktail. Unforgettable.
Erin Hill and Milton Hill are your hosts and organisers for these small more personal tours.
It means we can more easily tailor our week to the things you’d most like to do.
A 10 Day Sketching & Discovery Adventure in Venice Italy.
