The watercolour
painting holidays for 2010 are Brittany, the Lake District and Pembrokeshire.
As usual, the number of places on the holiday is strictly controlled
to a maximum of 12 and it is therefore recommended that you book early
to avoid disappointment. I try to keep the amount of walking to a
minimum and most of the venues have about one or two hundred yards
but there may be times it could be a little further (max half a mile),
please let me know if this would be a problem. If you have no materials
do not worry, you can hire materials for the week from me at £5/person/week.
If you are new to painting out of doors, I will tailor your tuition
to your needs and show you things like perspective, colour mixing
and the key measure.
Non painting partners welcome
if you would prefer you can choose your own accommodation, bed and breakfast, hotel or caravan. It will be up to you to settle your own bill at the end of the day whatever type of accommodation you choose or if you use the accommodation that we supply for the others, doing it this way you will see that there are no hidden charges for the accommodation .
A non-refundable deposit of £50 will be required on booking the holiday and the remainder paid one week before we go. Don't worry about materials we take lots of materials with us that you can use, buy or hire.
