Day 2.
After breakfast, we get together at Finca la Paz (your hosts, Dave & Gill’s home) with your tutor, Anna, and discuss what you wish to achieve from the week’s tuition. This session will allow people to discuss their existing painting experience and style and to request any particular help and direction and there will be an opportunity here to start painting. For people with no painting experience additional tuition and guidance will be provided, whilst experienced painters may wish to make a start – the olive grove at Finca la Paz, with it’s views to the village makes an ideal location!.
