In July 2006 a painting school from Holland found accomodation at our farm. For people who like drawing and painting, a natural and variing landscape and who can stand a lot of sun this is a nice way to enjoy an artistic holiday.

Programm :
The programm will last for at least 4 hours/day.
One day could be like this:
8.30 breakfast and make your lunchpacket, fill your waterbottles.
9.00 go to the place where you will paint - walking or by car (for example to Monsanto or Idanha-a-Velha). To a place under trees by the lake on the farm or to another beautiful place in the region.
To paint in shade is important, because it can be very hot in the summertime. We will paint for some hours and then have lunch.
In the afternoon, the hottest time of day, you can go swimming in the lake, stay at the sandy beach, read, go for a canoe - tour or just make "siesta".
At least twice we will go to paint at evening light (at about 18 - 20.00 o´clock)
Then we will have dinner with a glass of wine from the region.
You can choose your materials to paint, it depends on your experience. Doet can teach you to paint figurative or more free and expressive, as you like.
Group :
These painting journeys are both for beginners or experienced painters. The minimum is 6 persons, maximum 10.
Your wishes and abilities will be considered, please call for more information (at the painting school in Holland).
We will paint and draw at different places, but the guidance is individual.
The review at the end of each session will take place with the whole group.
