An unforgettable week-long Plein Air retreat in Arega, Portugal! Enjoy painting and drawing in this beautiful part of Portugal. We’ll explore the charming village of Arega, a private local garden, and the surrounding countryside, discovering inspiring places to paint and sketch. A “Drawing Safari” workshop is a wonderful way to capture the essential shapes and lines of the landscape. You’ll be painting right alongside me. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just beginning, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to experiment, develop your skills, and find your own way of responding to the landscape. Our beautiful accommodation is a charming farm nestled in the hills of the breathtaking Arega area, with large private rooms or double rooms for couples.

Join me for an unforgettable painting holiday in Portugal! All we have to do is relax and enjoy sketching in this stunningly beautiful part of Portugal. We’ll have plenty of time to capture once-in-a-lifetime experiences on the pages of our watercolor journals as we explore all the coast and charming villages. You’ll learn how to add style and interest to your sketchbook pages through the use of unique page layouts and borders, and we’ll cover several fun new lettering styles. In addition, I’ll offer daily demonstrations of techniques for painting the subject matter you’ll encounter each day. And you’ll be painting right along with me, since we learn more by doing than by simply observing.
