"Jenny couldn't have done more to make our holiday
enjoyable. Lovely locations, excellent accommodation, we
all got on well together and we had a holiday to
remember. We also learnt a lot about drawing and
painting." - J A, Maidenhead
"The Paxos locations are stunningly beautiful and
local people are genuinely kind and good-natured. May is
the ideal time to visit the island: the colours of the
flowers are amazing and the locations we use are quiet
and undisturbed. I found the course really enjoyable." -
PG, London E4

The 'Spring Painting Week' will once again be led by Jenny Halstead
PS, who currently teaches drawing and painting
classes in France, Greece and Spain, and also in the
Berkshire area. Jenny is also working on the progression
of her own work and frequently holds solo and group
exhibitions in the South East of England. She has
recently been elected a member of the prestigious Pastel
Society (UK).
The 'Spring Painting Week' is
equally suitable for those with previous experience and
for complete beginners,
and
aims to provide you with a wonderful painting
holiday where you can enjoy sketching and painting
alongside other painters in an inspirational setting.
It will be based in the delightful village of Loggos,
the smallest of the three coastal villages on the
beautiful Greek island of Paxos, but you will also spend time visiting other parts of the island. Accommodation
will be in The Manor House,
an elegant building and one of the most famous houses on
the island, which commands wonderful views of Loggos
harbour and the mountains on the Greek mainland.

Tuition will be based around morning group sessions and
early evening get-togethers, with plenty of
opportunities for individual advice. Jenny will also be
on hand during the afternoons to help those who wish to
continue painting. The working week will run from
Tuesday to Sunday, with a free day on Friday to give you
the chance to explore the rest of the island or simply
relax.
Topics covered during the week will include
• sketchbook work
• drawing
• line and wash
• pen and watercolour
• figure drawing
• composition
• basic perspective
• tone and colour

Holiday Cost:
We now have just two places left on the holiday and
are offering these at the special price of £895 per
person, instead of the usual £945.
We are also waiving our usual £125 per person supplement
for sole use of a twin/double room, making a total saving of £175 for anyone travelling alone.
The cost includes
tuition, accommodation in a
twin/double room in The Manor House, return transfers between
Corfu and Loggos,
breakfast, most lunches and dinners (with wine) in local
tavernas, welcome and farewell drinks, and
local transport required in connection with the painting sessions.
Any optional activities, such
as Greek cookery,
Greek dancing and boat trips, will be at
additional cost.
For
full details of what is included in the cost of the
holiday and of the accommodation, please see
'Spring
Painting Week
Further Information'.
Alternative accommodation and extending your holiday:
If you already have your own
accommodation, then it is usually possible just to join
the group tuition sessions. We can also help you to find
accommodation if you would like to stay somewhere other
than the Manor House or would
like to extend your holiday and spend a few
additional days on Paxos or a few days on Corfu,
either before or after the painting course. Please
contact us
to discuss the options.
To Book:
Please read
our
Booking Conditions and
the
Important Information
section of this website and then
complete and submit an
On-Line Booking Form.
Our painting holidays are open to people of all
ages and abilities aged 18 or over. However,
Paxos is a relatively hilly island and we
therefore do not feel that they are suitable for
anyone with walking difficulties.
Second
Holiday/Course Discount:
We will give
you a discount of £40 if you book any two
holidays or courses from our current programme.
Group Discounts: If you are a
group of four or more who wish to book
the 'Spring Painting Week', please
contact us to see if we can offer
you a discount.
