Summary

Join Seb on this exciting opportunity to paint in an absolutely delightful

place in the Western Algarve.

Details

The Algarve is well known for it's amazing light conditions and vibrant

colours from the vivid blue skies and turquoise waters to it's lush green

and colourful vegetation as well as the rustic tiled and coloured traditional

buildings.

The Western Algarve is more rural, rustic and peaceful than the hustle and

bustle of the Central Algarve with it's sleepy harbours, quiet mountain

villages and un-spoilt coastline.

The holiday will be based in Porto De Mos just outside Lagos where we

are in easy reach of the coastal path where you can paint the coastline

including the Algarve stacks. The beautiful beach of Praia Da Luz is just

minutes away where you can paint the coastline, traditional buildings,

churches and a fort. The traditional fishing village of Burgau is within a

few minutes drive from the hotel and has some really quaint subjects to

paint including buildings, cobbled streets, boats and the beautiful coastline.

We will also visit the coastal town of Lagos (5-10 mins away) where you

can paint anything from fishing harbours with multi-coloured fishing boats,

old forts, traditional Portuguese tiled buildings, churches and town

squares.

There are plenty of traditional Portuguese villages nearby including the

historic town of Silves with it's traditional buildings, cobbled streets and

castle.

Seb has an incredible passion for painting and so he has a real enthusiasm

for teaching others how to paint. He will patiently guide you through the

process of choosing a composition, sketching a subject, producing the

blocking in stage and building up the layers and he will do small sketches to

illustrate a subject and he finds compositions in places that many artists

would overlook and will give you plenty of one-to-one tuition.
