Holidays Listing

Join Christopher Cole on this exciting

opportunity to paint in an absolutely

delightful

place in the Western Algarve in any

media.


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.



Christopher really enjoys helping people

to achieve their goals within painting

whether beginner, intermediate or an

established painter as he brings his

extensive knowledge & experience to

his tuition. He encourages diversity &

experimentation so that all his students

develop their own personal style. He

achieves this through plenty of one-to-

one tuition.
