Watercolour Paining Holiday
November 2023 TBC
Join us for a relaxing week in Portimao where artist Trine Pettigrew will be sharing her artistic knowledge.
Together we will venture out into the beautiful old town of Portimao and sketch on location. Later in the day we will work on our sketches at home in our beautiful 16th century house, creating finished larger pieces using watercolours.
You'll be staying in the heart of the old town, where you'll find winding streets and lovely architecture - some crumbling some brightly coloured. Perfect for drawing and painting.
