Painting holiday Spain, residential all inclusive painting retreat (non painting companion)

Description

Painting holiday in Southern Spain. While your friend or partner is painting you can just enjoy the warmth of the sun in southern Spain. Banish the blustery British blues of winter and join us for an all inclusive, exclusive and strictly limited residential art course. You can wander around the villa and gardens making the most of being outside in the delightful Spanish countryside where the orange, lemon and olive groves nestle on the sides of the mountains. **Please note this booking is only available when accompanied by a fully paid painting person. ** This is the fee for a non painting friend or partner at the flat rate of £500 and who is accompanying a paid tuition attendee in a shared room. This will include everything other than the painting tuition and painting materials. Please see my other course listings for the paid tuition options. All rooms are fully equipped with towels and toiletries.

I am a third generation artist, I follow in the footsteps of my grandfather and mum. I first began painting in oils when I wanted a picture of my lovely lurcher, I had lots of photos of him but none were quite good enough, so I decided to have a go at doing a painting of him! It turned out really well and I had got the bug. My first love in painting is wildlife, I get so excited when I see an image or scene of animals, I just can’t wait to start painting it!
