The
2009 painting holidays are now finished, and we are looking forward to
2010. The holidays we are contemplating for next year 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
