Painting Holidays with Dublin Art Classes & Sunways Holidays

Prepare for a vibrant 24-hour artistic journey through London, where every corner inspires and every moment counts. You’ll explore some of the city’s most celebrated galleries—standing before masterpieces by Turner, Rembrandt, Van Eyck, Van Gogh, and Cézanne at the National Gallery, and taking in Goya, Seurat, and contemporary works like Landscape Artist of the Year pieces at the Courtauld.

As we move through the city—sketching on the go, hopping on and off the Underground—you’ll feel London’s creative pulse firsthand. While our food stops may vary, Covent Garden often becomes a favourite place to pause, reflect, share our impressions from the day, and even squeeze in a little drawing. It’s a fast-paced, creatively rich day that connects you with art, the city, and fellow artists in a truly memorable way.

Amsterdam was a truly inspiring chapter in our painting holiday adventures.

From the grand halls of the Rijksmuseum to the intimate Rembrandt House Museum, and the emotionally charged Van Gogh Museum, we immersed ourselves in the lives and works of the Dutch masters.

Walking the same streets they once did, sketching beside the canals, and capturing the golden Amsterdam light—it all deepened our connection to the art. And the best part? We’re going back. If you join us next year, you’ll experience the same unforgettable journey: painting, learning, and being creatively recharged in one of the world’s most artistically rich cities.
