About your holiday

Poppies, Gravetye, watercolour, (76x56cm) by Hazel Soan

On this semi-structured tutored painting programme Hazel will be working and teaching in watercolour each day. There will be lots of en plein air painting in the grounds and gardens as well as some still-life and portrait painting and group demonstrations. All abilities and media are welcome.

Your base for the week will be in the beautiful and expansive Queen Elizabeth II Walled Garden which will be full of colourful displays of roses and delphiniums in early July and where there is also the vegetable garden and traditional greenhouse.

You will have exclusive use of the Pavilion in the walled garden for indoor painting, teaching sessions and storing your equipment. You are free to paint anywhere on the estate which includes lakes and fountains, an arboretum and woods and a river, as well as bridges, pergolas and gates, and Dumfries House itself.

About Dumfries House

His Royal Majesty King Charles III rescued the Neoclassical 18th century Dumfries House and its collection of Chippendale furniture from being sold in 2007 and has since lovingly restored the house and grounds.

It is only in the last year that the gardens, arboretum and woodlands have matured and blossomed, making it the right time for artists to be in residence.

Your accommodation

You will be staying in the beautiful Dumfries House Lodge, which is on the Estate enabling you to paint from dawn to dusk.

An event host will be with you at Dumfries House to take care of everyone and all the arrangements, and help you have the best experience possible.

To enjoy this special one-off opportunity to paint with Hazel Soan at one of Britain's finest and most exclusive Royal country estate
