Watercolour painting holidays, watercolour workshops, watercolour courses and painting days for all.
What many of my students have had to say about their local art group...
I realy wanted a painting course and learn to paint in watercolours, but in the watercolour courses there were just too many people and teacher never got around to me so we were left to our own devices, but I didn't know what to do as I have never painted before. But where can I get more individual attention without paying too much ? Try Coupe watercolours, for watercolour courses.
I would love to take a holiday that involves my hobby and is different....
A painting holiday is an holiday with a difference, it is relaxing, informative, and great fun. To mix with people that have the same interest that want to capture the great British landscape on watercolour paper is our aim. So now watercolour holidays form a large part of the tuition time, and are growing in popularity all the time.
Can I bring my non painting partner along......
Certainly, and they are most welcome. We normally find there are
two or three non-painters on the courses and what is nice is they
will form a friendship and go off and do their own thing such
as golfing, walking, fishing or even shopping. We aim to make
it on holiday for them just as much as the painters.
you will not be thrown in at the deep end...
Everybody that starts something new is very nervous and that is why you will not be thrown in at the deep end.We will be starting from the very basics and will build up from there to your very first masterpiece. Taking your time and enjoying it is what we look for at Coupe Watercolours.
Rather than use hotels on the painting holidays can I use my caravan..
Yes, I use my caravan on all the holidays and so can you. With the cost of hotels increasing all the time this would take away much of the cost of a watercolour painting holiday. We mostly use Caravan Club sites so you would need to be a member to use the same sites or you can pick your own site. We try to stay near the hotel so we can join the others in the evening for a chat of the days events.
Would a painting holiday be ok for a complete beginner....
Yes,
it will give us the opportunity to work from nature, that is so
much better than working from photographs but we will not miss
out on the basics, we will go through those during the week and
make sure by the end of the week you have a good grounding in
the essentials of watercolour painting out of doors. Painting
with a group is always beneficial, what you will find is you will
learn from the others and see different ways of doing things.
