Join Michal Jasiewicz on this exciting
opportunity to paint in an absolutely
delightful place in the 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 Praia da
Luz where you can paint the coastline,
fortaleza, buildings and churches. The
traditional fishing village of Burgau is
within a few minutes drive from Luz
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 (15 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.
We will also visit Camilo where you can
paint the coastline plus the stacks.
There are plenty of traditional
Portuguese villages nearby as well as
the mountain village of Caldas de
Monchique.
Michal loves the spontaneity and
freshness that comes with
watercolours and he will inspire you to
paint exciting watercolours where he
places great emphasis of light on a
subject. As an architect he loves
architectural subjects and how the
light falls on a building and he is the
ideal tutor to help you paint historical
Wells. He loves combining the formal
shapes of architectural subjects with
the freedom of much looser
expressionistic methods that
demonstrate the amazing light
bouncing off buildings.
He will adapt his teaching style to the
requirements of each individual from
beginners to the advanced painters
and will give plenty of one-to-one
tuition. He will do a demonstration at
each location to help you understand
his interpretation of the scene and
then will help guide you through the
painting process including composition,
how to depict light, colour and tone to
dramatic effect.
