Lake Iseo A painters dream

 Lake Iseo A painters dream

After a couple of wet years in the Lake District, we took a big plunge and decided to have this Summer painting and gaining inspiration in the French Alps! So here I am in the pretty village of Samoens, it all seems very bizarre but having WIFI makes life much more accessible  I am still providing the Online course and hope soon to have one, just on the French Alps, it is great getting emails back from students who are improving and gaining confidence with each project and it certainly inspires me.

I am organising an Italian Lakes painting holiday from 14th to 21st  September and have some single ladies booked on, with a  couple of ensuite rooms still available. The Rivalago hotel is stunning and situated on the Lakeshore and in the pretty village of Sulzano it really is a painters dream. I like to keep the numbers small ensuring lots of one to one tuition and also a friendly easy going group. If you would like to come Ryanair fly from Bristol, Birmingham and also Stanstead direct to Bergamo airport where we will have a private transfer waiting to take you to the Rivalago. If you have a non painting partner, they are more than welcome and Nigel knows plenty of cycling and walking routes to keep them amused or just chilling out and enjoying the Italian Culture.

We have just One double ensuite room available, please get in touch before it goes.

Leisure painter painting in Italy

Here I am sitting with James Martin busy clattering in the kitchen (on the TV ) about to start on the accounts!  I thought I'll just have a quick look, before I start at 'Leisure painter magazine web site. And what a wonderful surprise, I find that my article on Lake Iseo has been  painted in other styles and enjoyed by fellow artists. I'm sharing with you the second article, this shows how I tackled this stunning scene. To see it in publication is a real joy, but to read that other have enjoyed it too, is fantastic.

I have a painting holiday organised for 14th September 2013 for one week staying at the stunning Rivalago hotel on the shores of Lake Iseo. To paint and enjoy this inspiring area of the Italian Lakes I'm sure that any artist would enjoy and with just a maximum  of eight  places there is plenty of one to one tuition for beginners and Improvers of watercolours. For more details see here Painting in the Italian Lakes
or contact me at lakelandart@hotmail.co.uk to book your place and be inspired. Please note that the hotel is booking up very fast.

Here is the link to the Leisure painter magazine Leisure painter and now I better get on with the accounts!!
