About the tour
_JPG.jpg)
On this adventure, Rita will show you how to use watercolor paints and other fun materials to complete a small destination art journal. It’s very enjoyable and easy for non-artists to do and is a unique way to record your travel adventures!
Here is an example itinerary of how you can expect your 7 days to go (this schedule is always subject to change) :
DAY 1
Your arrival day.
Our group, if they have not arrived earlier, will arrive throughout the day.
We will all gather together at 7pm for a meet and greet dinner.
Rita's workshops are great for all levels – She has plenty to teach a novice while keeping it fun, but also has some tricks up her sleeve to help more experienced artists find something new in themselves. Mostly, she’s inspired by her beautiful surroundings and the wonderful people and places to which she takes her groups. Each day, you’ll head out and spend your time exploring, photographing, and absorbing the character of each new destination.

DAY 2-7
A buffet breakfast will be available daily, before travelling to different areas around Cavtat. 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, Lokrum or Gruda, Čilipi and at your leisure, Dubrovnik. 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 our hotel. You will have some time to yourself before the evening meal 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.
All box lunches are included + 4 dinners.
