Join Paul Weaver on this exciting
opportunity to paint in the picturesque
medieval town of Obidos and along the
Siilver Coast just north of Lisbon.
There is so much to paint in and around
Obidos from traditional houses with
pots, flowers and creepers to imposing
buildings such as the Castle and
churches all within pedestrianised
cobbled streets. We will probably spend
a couple of days in Obidos but there are
also subjects outside of the town
including anything from impressive
churches to small houses and streets.
We will also visit Caldas Da Rainha that
has many historic buildings, a market
(some days) and a lake with reflections.
We will also visit the Silver Coast and
paint coastal towns such as Nazare, Sao
Martinho do Porto and/or Peniche
which include the imposing Fort of
Peniche.
An award winning artist, enthusiastic
and encouraging tutor, Paul will
combine informative lessons with plenty
of on-site sketching and painting.
He will guide you through his techniques
for capturing the mood and atmosphere
of this superb location.
With instructive demonstrations and
personal guidance, he will offer advice
on choosing subjects, composition and
tonal sketches, as well as techniques for
capturing the atmospheric effects of
light and shade, trees, skies, water and
reflections, simplifying architecture and
adding figures to a scene.
