Capture these wild orchid beauties by studying them in nearby fields and gardens, then working in the classroom. Through demonstration, lecture, and hands-on painting, make watercolor paintings from start to finish in the beautiful studio space at Lagou Raxi Hotel in Lafkos, Greece. The course includes a visit to the Pelion Orchid Center, time to wander the ancient kalderimia to the nearby village of Lafkos, all on the Pagasitic Gulf near the Agean Sea. Artists can work on watercolor paper or vellum.

Don’t miss a chance for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to immerse yourself in some of the 50+ native orchids of Greece, and bring home at least one painting of your favorite.
