Join renowned artist David Dunlop, a modern-day old master whose luminous landscapes draw from both renaissance techniques and contemporary science, on an unforgettable artistic journey in Greece. Beginning in Athens, we'll explore the Parthenon and visit the Acropolis Museum. Next, travel to Crete, where we’ll spend the next five days in the beautiful town of Chania with its Venetian harbor, serene coastlines, and historic landscapes. Enjoy daily guided painting sessions with David Dunlop at some of the island’s most scenic locations within steps from our hotel overlooking the sea. Daily painting sessions with David will include demonstrations, personalized feedback and discussions on technique, composition, and color. Crete in October is the perfect time of year for plein air painting!
