Portugal Art Class Adventure from Ribeira
This isn’t just a painting class — it’s an escape into the quiet beauty of rural Portugal. Set at a converted farmhouse just outside Porto, this experience combines creative expression with deep connection to nature. Unlike city-based workshops, here you'll be surrounded by rolling hills, birdsong, and sweeping views that have inspired artists for centuries — and still feel untouched.
What makes this truly special is the balance of gentle guidance and creative freedom. With over 22 years of landscape painting experience — and having painted scenes around the world — I’ve found that this spot holds a rare kind of magic. You’ll be supported with tips and techniques, but there’s no pressure to "get it right." This is a space to play, explore, and let your style unfold in your own way.
Also: all supplies included, a quirky farmhouse atmosphere, and warm hospitality with tea, coffee, and snacks — and you have an experience that’s as much about presence and peace as it is about painting.

What's included in Portugal Art Class Adventure from Ribeira
(Subject to Option Inclusions)After arriving at the idyllic farmhouse, you'll be welcomed with a short tour of The Court of Cavalum to get familiar with the space. Then, we’ll settle into a relaxed painting session, using the spectacular surrounding landscape as our inspiration. I’ll guide you through some key tips and techniques for painting landscapes with acrylics, but you're free to follow your own creative path — this is a space for personal expression and exploration. All materials are provided, so you only need to bring yourself and a willingness to create. Tea, coffee, water, and light snacks will be available throughout the afternoon. Whether you're a complete beginner or experienced painter, this is a mindful, enriching way to spend time in nature and take a break from the pace of the city. At the end of the session, you'll leave with your own hand-painted canvas — a personal and lasting memory of your time in Portugal.
