My third painting holiday with Simon and Monica met all expectations - well organised but responsive and adaptable. Extremely well fed and made comfortable. Excellent drawing and painting opportunities with guidance when requested. Very customer-focussed and professional. Only 6 in the group makes it much easy to move about and pursue own preferences.

My eighth spectacular painting holiday as a solo traveler I absolutely love this painting holiday hosted by Simon and Monica. They have elevated and refined this whole experience; from the welcoming, extremely comfortable accommodations with thoughtful, amenities, to the beautifully and lovingly prepared meals, the seafood centric beach picnic with crystal and china. Simon‘s expert group and one-on-one instruction, his patience and encouragement makes one want to continue painting, even when one is struggling ; the seamless transportation (with top quality art supplies) from the guest house to scenic, enchanting villages for our painting sessions was memorable. It’s a great way to restore oneself- to truly rest. Monica has thought of everything and one can paint mindfully and meditatively-Simon’s great sense of humor, talent and skill will make an artist of anyone even me.

This trip and experience were planned as a gift for my wife who is a painter. The experience was everything I had hoped to have for my wife and very much exceeded our expectations. Monica and Simon run an amazing operation and go to great lengths to insure your experience is rewarding. Liz who conducted the painting classes was delightful and my wife gained a lot of valuable information from her classes. This was an all inclusive experience and the lodging and dinners were sensational to include a private dining experience with a French chef at his new restaurant at a small village near Pezenas. All in all things couldn't have been better and we would both highly recommend this trip and classes with Paint your Travels.

EAT, PRAY, PAINT The incredible team of Monica and Simon from Paint Your Travels created an experience where I felt immersed in the local culture of the South of France. It was both casual and extremely organized. Our Artist teacher, Liz Adams was as talented a teacher and she was an artist. Painting sessions ( while challenging for me at times) were fun, and expressive while offering as much direction as I wanted. This is an extremely reliable team. I was able dive deeper into my painting and all the details were organized for me . Tom Florio New York

This painting holiday stood head and shoulders above any organized tour I have ever taken before. The accommodations were top notch (like having personal connections with VERY posh friends overseas!), the food was extraordinary (I'm no foodie, but you found yourself reveling in every bite!), and the settings in Morocco were off the charts beautiful and exotic. But above all, the entire experience was shaped into a glorious adventure by Simon and Monica. They were warm, funny, flexible and unflappable! I learned so much about the approach to creativity, travel and art... and how deeply they are connected in my life. If this sounds like you, too... get off the couch, grab your sketchbook (or Simon will provide one) and book that trip. It will bring so much fun and spontaneity back to your life, you will never regret or forget it!
