Join Michal Jasiewicz on this exciting
opportunity to paint in an absolutely
delightful place in the Algarve.
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 the
traditional fishing village of Burgau
where there is an abundance of
painting material within walking
distance of the hotel.
We will also visit the coastal towns of
Lagos (15 mins away) and Praia Da
Luz (5 mins away) where you can
paint anything from fishing harbours,
old forts, traditional Portuguese tiled
buildings, churches and town squares
to multi-coloured fishing boats with
palm trees, beaches and The Algarve
Coast.
There are plenty of traditional
Portuguese villages nearby as well as
Cape St Vincent and the west coast
within reach.
Michal loves the spontaneity and
freshness that comes with
watercolours and he will inspire you to
paint exciting watercolours where he
places great emphasis of light on a
subject. He loves combining the formal
shapes of architectural subjects with
the freedom of much looser
expressionistic methods that
demonstrate the amazing light
bouncing off buildings and in the
landscape.
He will adapt his teaching style to the
requirements of each individual from
beginners to the advanced painters
and will give plenty of one-to-one
tuition. He will do a demonstration at
each location to help you understand
his interpretation of the scene and
then will help guide you through the
painting process including composition,
how to depict light, colour and tone to
dramatic effect.
