We will paint a diverse range of subjects in a variety of settings.
From the hustle and bustle of a 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. As well as 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.
Grahame will illustrate and impart his skills and knowledge with clarity and
humour.
He will do this through demonstrations and giving plenty of tips and
techniques. His approachable style of teaching will enable you to get the
most out of your paintings as he will assist you. He will give you the
enthusiasm to develop your own style utilising the lessons so expertly
taught and will tailor any one-to-one tuition to each individuals needs.
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.
