WESTERN ALGARVE

WATERCOLOUR Painting amazing light and colour of the Western Algarve


About This Course

12 - 19 OCTOBER 2024 Join Paul Talbot-Greaves on this exciting opportunity to paint in an absolutely delightful place in the Western Algarve. Details 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. With Paul you will start by sketching and taking photographs, where you can concentrate on composition finding and absorb subjects, before starting work on your painting. He will assist this process with either a demonstration or quick sketches to illustrate what can be achieved quickly. Paul likes to use a loose, rapid approach to painting, usually completing a piece in around two hours. Paul helps painters with their own work, giving individual tuition, demonstrations, offering helpful and technical advice.
