Join Steve Bretel on this exciting
opportunity to paint in Jersey where we
will paint some beautiful coastal scenes
and harbours.
The holiday is based at St Brelade's Bay
Hotel, a beautiful 4-star hotel with it's
own private beach front garden and
private access to the beach making it a
great place to stay. We can paint in the
gardens or on the beach and there are
plenty of boats, a nearby beautiful old
church on the sea front near to the
small harbour. There are also great
panoramic views of the bay that can be
seen from the restaurant, the dedicated
function room and many of the
bedrooms.
We will paint a wide range of subjects
including a selection of St. Brelade's
Bay, St Aubin's Harbour, Gorey Castle &
Harbour, La Corbiere Lighthouse, La
Rocq & Le Hocq as well as Rozel Bay
and Bouley Bay on the north coast and
more.
Steve is full of enthusiasm about
painting and teaching. He loves the
challenge and expressiveness of
watercolour especially, and would like
everyone to experience this excitement.
Each day will start with an introduction
to the subject and a half-hour
demonstration to the group, then
regular one to one demonstrations
given throughout the day as required.
Steve will show the importance of
making sketches and values studies
before deciding on compositions, and
will cover the underpinning theory, as
well as the practice of every aspect
needed. Each day will conclude with
sharing and reviewing participant's
work, leading to individual action plans
for development at each of the
following sessions and for after the
course ends.
