Join Paul Weaver on this exciting
opportunity to paint some stunning
coastal scenes in the Lizard Peninsula.
The holiday is based at Housel Bay
Hotel which is the most southerly hotel
in mainland Britain and so is ideally
situated for reaching all the painting
locations around the Lizard Peninsula
including the stunning coastline around
Lizard Point & Kynance Cove as well as
harbours such as Coverack and
Porthleven both of which have an
abundance of painting subjects from
lovely old buildings, thatched cottages,
beautifully coloured boats and coastal
views. Within the grounds of the hotel
we can paint the stunning Lizard Point
and Lighthouse. The hotel is also within
easy reach of beaches on the West
Coast such as Gunwalloe Church Cove
and Porthallow on the East Coast of
the Peninsula
The hotel has lovely gardens, with an
outdoor terrace and the main
restaurant with magnificent panoramic
sea and coastal views of the Lizard
Point. There are two restaurants each
with good service, local cuisine where
you can enjoy lovely Cornish dishes.
An award winning artist, enthusiastic
and encouraging tutor, Paul will
combine informative lessons with
plenty of on-site sketching and
painting.
He will guide you through his
techniques for capturing the mood and
atmosphere of this superb location.
With instructive demonstrations and
personal guidance, he will offer advice
on choosing subjects, composition and
tonal sketches, as well as techniques
for capturing the atmospheric effects
of light and shade, trees, skies, water
and reflections, simplifying architecture
and adding figures to a scene.
