2024: Sept 6- 13 : Making good use of your sketchbook?(how much do you look?)

Greece Sept 5 - 12, 2023 : A really enjoyable week with enthusiastic painters.

      

This is a painting "holiday" with the benefit of advice from experienced professional tutor Podi Lawrence for 5 days. Artist/Director Liz and her husband John have lived on the island of Kalymnos for more than 17 years, making it their home after several holidays here. Since then they have been running painting holidays.....this is Podi's 5th visit. 

There is a wide variety of visual inspiration; fascinating history, quiet beaches, seascapes include surrounding islands, the old Greek fishing boats in the local harbour, historical buildings in the port of Pothia. Sunsets to sit and watch with a glass of what you fancy in your hand. You will also experience the true hospitality of the Greek people, their exceptional food (yogurt, honey, Mousaca and Metaxa and some superb wines). 

From the first day after breakfast we will introduce you to some of the magnificent and divergent places of this island paradise. Over the week you will be taken to some intriguing places and the beach for relaxation. A short 15 minute trip by ferry to the island of Telendos (which was once part of Kalymnos), where you will find it peacefully quiet as there are no cars but lots of hidden places to find inspiration. There is just a small number of residents, B&B and restaurants and some artisans.
