Red roofs, blue sea, green olives and pine trees, brown soil, violet lavender, the sun so frightfully torrid... this is the Mediterranean, the lush and uncontaminated landscape that numerous artists, from Picasso to Chagall, from Van Gogh to Matisse, have chosen to rediscover new sources of inspiration, originating from its natural light and the cerulean blue of its sea.
In this pure Mediterranean atmosphere the great masters of the past first matured their inner self and then created new shapes translated into works of art, reconciling the light with clear colour details. Artists such as Cezanne and Renoir, fascinated by this regular and brilliant landscape and the power exuded by its vegetation, decided to dedicate the last years of their maturity to paint en plein air.
This is the Mediterranean in a nutshell. An enormous natural and artistic open-air heritage from which a careful observer can gather those unique elements to transform a simple sojourn into a wonderful creative moment.
Especially the French and Italian coast, artistic centres par excellence, allow combining your yachting holiday with passion for art. ArtSonboard, with its highly qualified staff, wants to enhance your stay on board your yacht by combining the creative elements of the Mediterranean with the acquisition and development of a painting technique by means of personalised painting courses (elementary and advanced) as well as organisation of guided cultural sightseeing tours to major museums, foundations and archaeological sites.
ArtSonboard wants to indulge your creative stimuli and this experience will allow you to develop your knowledge of art during your cruise on the Mediterranean.

For the little ones, ArtSonboard organises practical game art contests aimed at developing the artistic talents of the kids and introducing them to the world of art right from infancy.
On specific request of our clientele, as of this year ArtSonboard will also be on land: in villa.
