About your trip
Join me in exploring the old town of Cádiz with your sketchbook in hand. Between the Moorish, Gothic, Renaissance and elegant Baroque architecture, the bustling fish market, and the colorful flamenco culture, the possibilities here are endless! I will take you to a variety of great drawing spots each morning, and you have your afternoons to go exploring. We then will get together for a show-and-tell each evening at our hotel with our sketchbooks.

Small group plein air painting and drawing holidays with award-winning artists Diane Olivier, Shirley Lehner-Rhoades, Bill Cone and Margaret Niven. We work in four exceptionally beautiful European locations: the magical cave village of Trôo in France's lush Loire Valley, the vibrant Andalusian capital of the Costa de la Luz, Cádiz Spain, the painter's paradise, Tuscany, Italy, and the Pearl of the Adriatic, Rovinj in Croatia -- as well as aboard a beautiful sailboat cruising the Dalmatian islands out of Split!
