Painting Location for Paint The Cotswolds

Perfect Pairing: Painting and Slow Travel

Painting and Slow Travel are indeed the perfect pair.
After traveling and painting on location for thirty years I can attest to mutual benefits of this wonderful combination.

Slow Travel focuses on authentic and sustained experiences in your travel location and painting on location seeks out the beautiful, authentic, indicative locations and requires a sustained focused attention

to create an interpretation of the location and experience.
