Join Paul Talbot-Greaves on this
exciting opportunity to paint in an
absolutely delightful place in the
Western 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 Caldas De
Monchique where we will paint the
traditional Portuguese architecture,
cobbled streets lined with deciduous
trees and dappled sunlight.
We will also visit other inland places
such as the National Park of Sitio Das
Fontes with its streams, ponds and
quaint buildings plus the historic city of
Silves with its castle.
We will also visit the Algarve coast and
paint around places such as Lagos
Marina, Luz and the fishing village of
Burgau.
With Paul you will start by sketching
and taking photographs, where you
can concentrate on composition finding
and absorb subjects, before starting
work on your painting. He will assist
this process with either a
demonstration or quick sketches to
illustrate what can be achieved quickly.
Paul likes to use a loose, rapid
approach to painting, usually
completing a piece in around two
hours.
Paul helps painters with their own
work, giving individual tuition,
demonstrations, offering helpful and
technical advice.
