Summary

Join Peter Woolley on this truly awe inspiring trip to paint the beautiful

Lake Maggiore and shoreline towns and villages.

Holiday Details

We will paint the stunning Borromean islands within the lake with snow

capped mountains as the backdrop. We will also visit the stunning towns

and villages of Pallanza, Laverno and/or Ascona (Switzerland) by boat.

We will also have a day painting around the hotel where you can paint

mountains, the lake, beautiful buildings and there is a beautiful little

harbour just a few steps from the hotel. We will travel by road to a nearby

lakeside town of Cannobio which has some cracking views across the lake

to Switzerland and some typically Northern Italian architecure around the

marina where we can paint too.

We will travel by boat to most of the painting locations. It is truly amazing

arriving at a location by boat as the shoreline part of the town comes into

view and you will be dropped off right in the heart of the historic part of

town. As you arrive at the locations by boat you can feel the anticipation

growing in you as to the wonderful sights you will be able to see and paint.

Once you step out onto dry land the painting locations do not disappoint.

About the Tutor

Peter will show you how to simplify the scene in front of you in order to

get a pleasing composition. He will guide you through a scene by painting a

step-by-step demonstration for those who want it in order to illustrate the

key elements of each part of the picture and how to build up the picture.

For those who wish to paint their own scene he will give guidance to each

individual according to what they require.

His approachable style of teaching will enable you to get the most out of

your paintings as he will assist you in this process. He will give you plenty

of one-to-one tuition and will demonstrate many tips and techniques

including the importance of tone and colour. Peter will work hard in order

for you to achieve your goals.
