PAINTING HOLIDAYS ON PAXOS

"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.
