Landscape painting holidays
The Four Seasons Hotel in St Fillans is in an ideal setting for a landscape painting holiday in Scotland. The natural beauty of this southern Highlands loch is the first delight of every visitor to St. Fillans, and the position of the Four Seasons, with picture windows looking south-west down the Loch, is one of the most enviable settings in Scotland. The views from the hotel are ever-changing; with the fresh new colours of spring, our light evenings, spectacular sunsets framed by the Bens to the west, and early morning mists shrouding a becalmed loch.
We hope to hold an Autumnal Break - Dates to be Advised
Following a very enjoyable and successful painting holiday based at the Four Seasons Hotel in Scotland during October 2008/9/10, Michael has again teamed up with us to tutor another exciting week in 2012.
Michael is a professional artist and an enthusiastic, sensitive tutor with over 40 years painting experience and regularly delivers demonstrations and workshops to art societies throughout Scotland. For the past 12 years he has been running painting holidays and courses at his Wood of Shaws home and studio in Aberdeenshire and at many enchanting locations abroad. In 2008 he also tutored on board the QE2 during a cruise in the Med and on the Queen Victoria whilst cruising to Madeira and the Canary Islands.
Accomplished in the use of watercolours, oils and pastels, his favourite subjects are landscapes, portraits and wild life studies. Guests may use whichever medium they wish and each day there will be structured teaching and/or demonstrations - as well as plenty of individual tuition and encouragement. As far as possible painting will be en ple in air at some of the most stunning venues in Perthshire.
Like other holidays that Michael tutors, the week will be suitable for people of any ability and no-painting partners will be welcome.
The choice of a hotel bedroom or chalet accommodation and dining arrangements, as well as activities for non-painting partners, will be similar to those outlined above. Prices from £452 (chalet) and £524 (hotel). Special discounts will apply to non-painting partners and guests who share hotel accommodation.
