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 Praia da

Luz where you can paint the coastline,

fortaleza, buildings and churches. The

traditional fishing village of Burgau is

within a few minutes drive from Luz

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 (15 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.

We will also visit Camilo where you can

paint the coastline plus the stacks.


There are plenty of traditional

Portuguese villages nearby as well as

the mountain village of Caldas de

Monchique.



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. As an architect he loves

architectural subjects and how the

light falls on a building and he is the

ideal tutor to help you paint historical

Wells. 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.


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.
