Whether you work in oils, watercolours, gouache, or acrylics, new skills, techniques and handy tips can be learned quickly with effective tuition. You will return from one of our painting holidays not only with better work, but with new skills and ideas you can develop further when you return home.

You will have the opportunity to learn more about art materials and their uses, which surfaces to use, tips for oils, acrylics, watercolours; deciding what subjects to paint and what scale to use.

The quality of the light in Andalucia is rich and intense and colour is strong and clear. There are numerous sources of inspiration for your painting. As you only have a week to take all this in, we provide plenty of opportunity while on the trips, to take photographic records for reference for you to work on when you get home.

Most of the tuition and painting sessions are done at the hotel, with the opportunity to paint when we go out on location or on the trips.

We have the use of a big, well lit studio space for our painting, as well as the shaded area at the back of the hotel underneath a huge tree in a cobbled courtyard area.

It has been found by many painting holiday providers that their clients usually prefer to have all the painting resources they require on the door-step. This is why we have chosen the particular hotel we use at Creative Holidays Spain, as it offers ideal landscapes and scenery for painting without having to travel to far, and allows people the chance to 'drop in' on the tuition sessions when they are ready.
