Join Kevin on this exciting opportunity to paint in the Western Algarve where we will paint some beautiful Portuguese scenes 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 holiday will be based at Villa Termal Das Caldas De Monchique Spa Resort, which is in the National Park of the Serra De Monchique.
Kevin has excellent interpersonal skills and is an inspirational and patient teacher. 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. We will spend the first & last painting days at Caldas where the holiday is based as there are many painting subjects within the village and complex including traditional Portuguese architecture, cobbled streets lined with deciduous trees and dappled sunlight. There are buildings perched down the valley giving various vantage points for painting. We will also visit the coastal towns of Lagos and Praia Da Luz where you can paint anything from fishing harbours, old forts, traditional Portuguese tiled buildings, churches and town squares to multi-coloured fishing boats with palm trees, beaches and The Algarve Coast. Kevin is enthusiastic and creative, using demonstrations and one-to-onetuition to help students gain confidence and develop as individuals. His own distinctive style has developed in recent years and his aim is always to say as much as possible as simply as possible. In his paintings there is a sense of realism with the feeling of atmosphere and his pictures are executed with as little fuss and detail as possible and he will help you achieve this in your paintings.
