    There will be critiques and discussions about your sketches and Erin will spend part of each day “one on one” with you as you sketch the magnificent locations.


Erin and Milton have planned just enough over our 9 days to see some of the best of Sicily.
Obviously we could spend weeks finding all the amazing sketching spots, but we’ve worked together to do 9 days.
We like less touristy places where we can discover the real Sicily. So that’s the aim. Obviously with a history like this island there will be ‘must see’ places and we’ll take time for coffee and sketching.
If you’re not a sketcher but fascinated with Italy, it’s history and everything to do with the food, the people, the language, then this tour is also for you.
Plenty of time to explore while we sketch.
