Summary

Join Sue Ford 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.

Sue is passionate about painting and you will be encouraged to achieve

your goals and realise your creative ideas, in a relaxed learning

environment. She includes step by step exercises, one to one tuition and

demonstrations.

With a natural ability to draw, Sue can demonstrate a variety of subjects

and will show you different painting techniques, explain about materials,

the importance of composition and getting the best from your sketches

as she paints in watercolours using a mixed media approach with acrylics

and pastels too.
