Join Seb 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 Porto De
Mos just outside Lagos where we are in
easy reach of the coastal path where
you can paint the coastline including the
Algarve stacks. The beautiful beach of
Praia Da Luz is just minutes away
where you can paint the coastline,
traditional buildings, churches and a
fort. The traditional fishing village of
Burgau is within a few minutes drive
from the hotel 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 (5-10 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.
There are plenty of traditional
Portuguese villages nearby including the
historic town of Silves with it's
traditional buildings, cobbled streets and
castle.
Seb has an incredible passion for
painting and so he has a real
enthusiasm for teaching others how to
paint. He will patiently guide you
through the process of choosing a
composition, sketching a subject,
producing the blocking in stage and
building up the layers and he will do
small sketches to illustrate a subject and
he finds compositions in places that
many artists would overlook and will
give you plenty of one-to-one tuition.
