Join Sarah Wimperis on this exciting
opportunity to paint in the Western
Algarve where we will paint some
beautiful Portuguese scenes.
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, traditional
Portuguese villages, quiet mountain
villages and un-spoilt coastline.
The holiday will be based in Burgau, a
beautiful traditional Portuguese village
and we will spend one day painting the
village and/or coastline. We will also
visit the coastal towns of Lagos and
Praia Da Luz 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.
We will also visit the inland villages of
Pedralva, Budens, Barao Sao Joao as
well as the quiet mountain village of
Caldas De Monchique which is in the
National Park of the Serra De
Monchique where we can paint
traditional Portuguese architecture,
cobbled streets lined with deciduous
trees and dappled sunlight. There are
buildings perched down the valley
giving various vantage points for
painting.
Sarah ensures that everyone will have
a rich painting experience, whether
you are a complete beginner or a full-
time artist who just wants to try a
different approach. Whilst she
demonstrates her style of painting her
main objective is to tutor for each
individual's needs to ensure you
develop your own style. Sarah tutors in
any water based media and when
painting in oils often paints and
teaches the techniques and style of
van Gogh and by using these methods
you will build in confidence and develop
skills that will enhance and further
your own work.
