We're delighted to say that professional artist Donna Maria Taylor will be returning to run a sketching / art holiday with us this Spring.  It was a wonderful week last May and we are so looking forward to welcoming her group again. 

 

Donna is a fully qualified and experienced tutor who has been teaching for over 30 years and has previously run art holidays in the Costa Blanca area of Spain - plus Morocco and Snowdonia.

Whatever your ability, Donna is happy to support you with your artwork throughout the week. The week will start with a workshop on ‘how to break down a sketchbook’ and then you’ll be out and

about gathering visual information in the locality. As the week progresses and we take trips out to various locations your sketchbook will become your visual diary of your experience. You are also welcome to work on more finished pieces too.

 

Donna regularly works with artists of all abilities and with a wide range of mediums, so this holiday is perfect for both complete beginners and more experienced artists.
