Summary

Join Paul Weaver on this exciting opportunity to paint in the picturesque

mediaeval town of Obidos and along the Siilver Coast just north of Lisbon.

Details

There is so much to paint in and around Obidos from traditional houses

with pots, flowers and creepers to imposing buildings such as the Castle

and churches all within pedestrianised cobbled streets. We will probably

spend a couple of days in Obidos but there are also subjects outside of the

town including anything from impressive churches to small houses and

streets. We will also visit Caldas Da Rainha that has many historic

buildings, a market (some days) and a lake with reflections. We will also

visit the Silver Coast and paint coastal towns such as Nazare, Sao

Martinho do Porto and/or Peniche which include the imposing Fort of

Peniche.

An award winning artist, enthusiastic and encouraging tutor, Paul will

combine informative lessons with plenty of on-site sketching and painting.

He will guide you through his techniques for capturing the mood and

atmosphere of this superb location.

With instructive demonstrations and personal guidance, he will offer

advice on choosing subjects, composition and tonal sketches, as well as

techniques for capturing the atmospheric effects of light and shade, trees,

skies, water and reflections, simplifying architecture and adding figures to

a scene.
