Painting Holiday --Portugal. 14-21st October 2017

You are welcome to join us on this exciting Painting Holiday to The Western Algarve in Portugal.

4th - 21st  October  2017

The Algarve is well known for it’s amazing light and vibrant colours, from vivid blue skies and turquoise waters to the lush green vegetation along with the rustic  traditional tiled buildings. The Western Algarve is more rural and peaceful than the Central Algarve with it’s sleepy harbours, quiet mountain villages and unspoilt coastline. The holiday will be based at Villa Termal Das Caldas De Monchique Spa Resort, which is in the National Park of the Serra De Monchique. We will spend the first and last painting days at Caldas as there are many painting subjects within the village and complex, including Portuguese architecture, cobbled streets lined with deciduous trees and dappled sunlight. There are buildings perched down the valley giving various vantage points for painting. We will also visit the town and fishing harbour of Lagos, the coastal town of Praia Da Luz and the harbours of Alvor or Burgau. Subjects include multi-coloured fishing boats, churches, panoramic coastal views and palm trees. With the exception of brushes all art materials are supplied and included in the price of this holiday, so you don't have to worry about what to bring. You are also recomended to bring your own sketchbook
