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 walk along Main Street

sketching as we go, 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

Paul will get everyone sketching on site, where we can concentrate on

composition finding and absorb subjects, before working on full paintings.

Paul will lead by demonstration, gathering participants around to watch

close hand and discuss his techniques and approaches. He helps painters

with their own work, giving individual tuition, demonstrations, offering

helpful and technical advice. Paul likes to use a loose, rapid approach to

painting, usually completing a piece in around two hours.
