Summary

Join Paul Talbot-Greaves on this unique and exciting opportunity to paint

in unique & diverse Gibraltar.

Holiday Details

We will paint a diverse range of subjects in a variety of settings.

From the hustle and bustle of busy Main Street where we can sketch the

buzz of cafe scenes and historic architecture including Casemates and

Mackintosh Square to the majestic views of the Straits of Gibraltar and the

Atlas Mountains of Africa. We will also paint in the tranquil Botanical

Gardens, opposite the hotel.

From the hotel terraces we can paint the Bay of Gibraltar and the coast of

Spain that has some beautiful sunsets.

We will visit Europa Point where we can paint the Rock of Gibraltar, the

Iconic Lighthouse and the coast of Africa and Camp Bay where we can

paint the Atlas Mountains, the Straits of Gibraltar, the Bay of Gibraltar with

many ships docked and Algeciras in Spain in the distance. We will also paint

the many varied trees and plants of the Alameda - Botanical Gardens in

the shadow of the Rock Hotel. Lastly, we will go sketching along Main

Street, within Casemates and Mackintosh Square, getting a real feel for

the urban sketching process.

On the day off, we will have a 'Rock Tour" as an excursion using Inside

Out Rock Tours (who will be looking after our group throughout the

holiday) where we will visit various landmarks of Gibraltar. If, as a non-

painter, you are interested in other tours please let us know.

About the Tutor

With Paul you will sketch and take photographs on site, where we can

concentrate on composition finding and absorb subjects, before returning

to the studio to work on a finished painting. Although the studio time is

more controlled and comfortable, Paul still likes to use a loose, rapid

approach to painting, usually completing a piece in around two hours.

Paul will lead by demonstration, gathering participants around a table to

watch close hand, take notes and discuss his techniques and approaches.

He helps painters with their own work, giving individual tuition,

demonstrations, offering helpful and technical advice.
