Discover
the untamed beauty of this small friendly island and let it inspire
you to produce delightful drawings and paintings under the supervision
of Ann Hopewell, who will be your tutor during your holiday.
The course is suitable for the beginner to the experienced and we
invite you to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and delight in the outstanding
beauty that the island has to offer.
The Alderney holiday is based on painting outdoors and will consist
of small groups (max. 12) to ensure individual attention. Each day
we have chosen locations of special scenic interest.

We
hope that Alderney will live up to its reputation for fine weather,
but just in case we also provide a studio where we meet for demonstrations,
discussions and to complete our work.
You will have enough spare time to explore the island so be sure
to carry your camera with you as Alderney is a haven for wildlife.
Look out for black rabbits, the blonde hedgehogs and seabirds such
as puffins, fulmars and guillemots. |

|
|
At
the beginning of the holiday we will discover your personal interests
and experience and this will help us assess your individual requirements.
The course will include the use of Watercolours, Water Colour Pencils,
Pen and Ink and Pastels. The choice will be yours – to choose
one medium or try several. |
