Drawing and Painting

Tuition in drawing and painting caters to student ability. Studio work is balanced with trips out to local sites. Three-hour sessions are offered in four-week modules. Alan and Mary exhibit regularly in Portugal and abroad. Go to The Gallery see examples of their work.
Etching Workshop
Learn a 500 year old printing technique in comfortable and relaxed surroundings in an etching workshop in Colares. An experienced artist and teacher, Mary St. George, is running lessons in Dry Point and Etching, two techniques involving preparing copper plates, drawing, inking and printing. This is an exciting medium which requires a little curiousity and a love of drawing, working with inks and creating original prints.
B & B and Self-Catering guests are welcome to take part in the art courses or workshops. Please contact the owners about this possibility when you make a booking.
