Andy Walker has just returned from a great painting holiday in Olhao with a group of painters all from the Roehampton Club in London. The group joined Andy for a week of sketching and painting. Some of the painters were painting in watercolour, some in oil and some in acrylic so it was a mixed week. Here is an extract from Andy’s blog whilst out there:
afternoon in the studio
“The town has everything an artist could want – old crumbling buildings with magnificent wooden doors and windows, cobbled streets full of charm, a large fish and fruit market, a fine white church, a harbour full of colourful fishing boats, and islands in a lagoon which are reminiscent of the caribbean. Plus of course, lots of sunshine and warm weather. I’ve now returned with a number of oil and watercolour paintings from the trip, and with loads of photos to work from in future. The colours, buildings, fishing boats and coastal waters have been a great inspiration.We were accommodated in a very plush and quirky house with it’s own studio where paintings could be finished in comfort. And every lunchtime and evening we were wined and dined in one of the many restaurants edging the harbour, often being served the local speciality fish dishes.”
Andy has two more painting holidays scheduled for 2010 in April (10th -17th) and September (18th-25th) why not join his fun laid back approach to a fabulous painting holiday. You can read some of Andy’s testimonials from our testimonial page.
