GIBRALTAR 2027

WATERCOLOUR PAINTING HOLIDAY

We will paint a diverse range of subjects in a variety of settings. From the hustle and bustle of busy Main Street where we can sketch the buzz of cafe scenes and historic architecture including Casemates and Mackintosh Square to the majestic views of the Straits of Gibraltar and the Atlas Mountains of Africa. We will also paint in the tranquil Botanical Gardens, opposite the hotel.

From the hotel terraces we can paint the Bay of Gibraltar and the coast of Spain that has some beautiful sunsets.

We will visit Europa Point where we can paint the Rock of Gibraltar, the Iconic Lighthouse and the coast of Africa and Camp Bay where we can paint the Atlas Mountains, the Straits of Gibraltar, the Bay of Gibraltar with many ships docked and Algeciras in Spain in the distance. We will also paint the many varied trees and plants of the Alameda - Botanical Gardens in the shadow of the Rock Hotel. Lastly, we will go sketching along Main Street, within Casemates and Mackintosh Square, getting a real feel for the urban sketching process.

On the day off, we will have a 'Rock Tour" as an excursion using Inside Out Rock Tours (who will be looking after our group throughout the

holiday) where we will visit various landmarks of Gibraltar. If, as a non-painter, you are interested in other tours please let us know.

With Paul you will sketch and take photographs on site, where we can concentrate on composition finding and absorb subjects, before returning to the studio to work on a finished painting. Although the studio time is more controlled and comfortable, Paul still likes to use a loose, rapid approach to painting, usually completing a piece in around two hours. Paul will lead by demonstration, gathering participants around a table to watch close hand, take notes and discuss his techniques and approaches. He helps painters with their own work, giving individual tuition, demonstrations, offering helpful and technical advice.
