Painting in Croatia
With Steve Hill
Steve has been an artist since the day he picked-up his first pencils and crayons, making marks on most surfaces.
His passion is to find special places, both home and abroad, and explore those with every element of his psyche dialed into the joyous, expressive and interpretive language of painting on-site.
Learn to make successful paintings en plein air through Steve's daily live narrated demos and expert advice at your easel at each painting site.
Open to initiated artists and their partners who wish to enjoy time with like minded people while discovering the beauties of the adriatic.

Each painting day will start with an on location demo by Steve; the remainder of the day will be organized to allow as much painting as you would want.
Steve will provide daily narrated, instructional live demos at each painting site, plus expert advice at your easels, when needed, after his demos.
All art mediums are welcome - including pastel, oils, watercolor, gouache, acrylic, drawing & photography. Spouses, and traveling companions too!
In addition, you will also have the time to discover some of the amazing scenery in and around Cavtat
Your free day can be spent in Dubrovnik so that you can bathe in the beautiful architecture of the Pearl of the Adriatic.
Here is an example itinerary of how you can expect your 7 days to go (this schedule is always subject to change) :

On the tour you will see vistas rich in vineyards, quiet coves, small beaches, flourishing olive tress and quaint architecture. This part of Croatia is unique in its beauty, encouraging one to take pleasure in painting and sketching.
Your painting tour includes scenic areas such as Cavtat, Ljuta, Perast (Montenegro), Gruda, Čilipi and at your leisure, Dubrovnik (Friday is a free day).
Our day will begin at 8am with breakfast and then the day is set in motion by your instructor… each instructor will vary slightly but mornings and afternoons will be for painting, with a box lunch on location, in between.
At the end of the day we will return to the Hotel Cavtat. You will have some time to yourself before the included evening meals at 7pm and are encouraged after dinner to spend time exploring the area or enjoying wine with your fellow artists, relaxing before your next day of painting.
