Join Peter Woolley 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 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.
Peter will show you how to simplify the
scene in front of you in order to get a
pleasing composition. He will guide you
through a scene by painting a step-
by-step demonstration for those who
want it in order to illustrate the key
elements of each part of the picture
and how to build up the picture. For
those who wish to paint their own
scene he will give guidance to each
individual according to what they
require.
His approachable style of teaching will
enable you to get the most out of your
paintings as he will assist you in this
process. He will give you plenty of
one-to-one tuition and will
demonstrate many tips and techniques
including the importance of tone and
colour.
