Painting and culture combined

Welcome to The Granada Painting Experience, a five-day itinerary that combines painting, cultural history, and social interaction in the inspirational setting of Granada in Andalucia. Our aim is simply to bring artists together, whatever their chosen medium, level, or intensity, to paint and draw with people who share a common interest in art, culture and travel. Granada is a painter’s paradise, and resident painter Daniel Fermor-Smith, along with the other members of The Granada Painting Experience team, will be at hand to guide you to the best vantage points and assist you in your bid to capture pictorially the magical potential of this most famous of Moorish cities. In a nutshell the objective of The Granada Painting Experience is for you to have a thoroughly stimulating and enjoyable week in Granada and to go home at the end of it with a great picture or two tucked under your arm to remember the experience by.
