Join Christopher Cole on this exciting

opportunity to paint in

an absolutely delightful place in the

Western Algarve in any media.


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.



Christopher really enjoys helping people

to achieve their goals within painting

whether beginner, intermediate or an

established painter as he brings his

extensive knowledge & experience to

his tuition. He encourages diversity and

experimentation so that all his students

develop their own personal style. He

achieves this through plenty of one-to-

one tuition.
