Holidays Listing

Join Andrew Hucklesby 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.



Andrew's enthusiasm for watercolour

painting is infectious. He is an

experienced tutor and is able to

demonstrate every aspect of landscape

painting. He will encourage you to

improve your watercolours and master

the medium. He will demonstrate a

painting out on location, help you to

produce a sketch/painting on site and

will give you plenty of group and one-

to-one tuition.


NB: This holiday was previously

advertised with Keith Hornblower as the

tutor but for personal reasons he is

unable to teach so Andrew has kindly

offered to step in.
