Painting trips with Maria Gabriel
Welcome to our inspiring painting trips! Our painting trips offer a unique opportunity to develop your artistic skills, learn new techniques and create unforgettable memories. Far away from everyday life, in quiet, inspiring and truly extraordinary places, such as the detailed old mill in Lombardy, the monastery surrounded by vineyards directly on the shores of Lake Maggiore, the cozy Stuben in the middle of the mountain landscapes and much more, you can let your art merge with the surrounding nature.
