Join Sue Ford 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 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.
Sue is passionate about painting and
you will be encouraged to achieve your
goals and realise your creative ideas,
in a relaxed learning environment. She
includes step by step exercises, one to
one tuition and demonstrations.
With a natural ability to draw, Sue can
demonstrate a variety of subjects and
will show you different painting
techniques, explain about materials,
the importance of composition and
getting the best from your sketches as
she paints in watercolours using a
mixed media approach with acrylics
and pastels too.
