painting holiday in portugal - september 2025
 |
| A sketching holiday in Monsaraz, Portugal with watercolour artist Renee Walden. |
My retreat in France for next year is now fully booked, so now I'm excited to announce a new painting holiday in Portugal. 5 wonderful days in the charming Monsaraz region.
The village of Monsaraz is charged with history. It is one of the oldest settlements in southern Portugal, dating from pre-historic times. We'll explore the town, painting on location, and fill our sketchbooks with wonderful memories. I'll be teaching in a dedicated studio as well. We’ll have fun sketching and painting all sorts of subjects, and my aim is that by the end of the holiday you'll have the confidence to happily take your sketchbook everywhere with you.
Our Portuguese coordinator, 'Sofia in Monsaraz', will take care of all the logistics and details, so we can just concentrate on painting. Sounds perfect, doesn't it?! This is my first trip to Portugal and I look forward to sharing the joy.
When : 3 - 8 September 2025
Where : Sofia in Monsaraz, Portugal
