Tutoring by Trine Pettigrew

This week-long course will be all about water, pigments and ink. 

 

Pack your favourite sketchbook, watercolour travel palette/paper, a black pen, and we're off!

 

We will get inspired by the many interesting narrow streets and old houses, harbour front and the many nesting storks, in the town of Portimão. 

 

Every day there will be a morning lesson in different watercolour techniques, contour drawing, viewfinder use and much more. 

 

After our morning lesson, you are free to paint. Trine will be supervising throughout the day, and ensure that everybody gets personal attention with advice and tips. 

 

At the end of the week, we will have a private viewing and a show and tell.
