Join Shelagh Ashley 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.
Shelagh has over 20 years experience
in tutoring painting holidays and enjoys
all types of subject matter. She is a
great believer in sketchbook work and
loves using pen & wash when painting
architecture.
Her approachable style of teaching will
enable you to get the most from your
paintings as she will assist you with
plenty of one-to-one tuition. Also,
through a combination of
demonstrations and tips & techniques
she will show you how to get the
results you want whether a complete
beginner or a more accomplished
artist.
