About Spain and the city of Girona

We are very fortunate to live in such a privileged area of Spain: Girona province. Set in the North East just before France, our province has a very mild Mediterranean climate, with very little rain and warm temperatures all year round. In winter it’s around 10º-15º C during the day and 2º to -3º at night. It rains only occasionally and we can have a swim in our turquoise blue beaches from Easter up to mid October.This workshop is held in the historic city of Girona, one of the most interesting in Catalonia, invites visitors to trace its more than 2000 years of history through fortified enclosures dating back to the Roman foundation times and the city walls (14th century). The highlights of Girona are rounded off by the impressive old Jewish Quarter or Call, with its beautiful streets and porticoed squares. Girona has managed to preserve numerous medieval and modern spaces with an exceptional atmosphere and beauty where time seems to have stood still.

Girona offers spectacular images of steep alleyways, porticoed streets and squares and, above all, the brightly painted façades of the houses overlooking the Onyar (the river that crosses the city) which provide the most emblematic image of the city. A porticoed square in neoclassical style, Plaça de la Independència is a busy place due to the large number of restaurants here. In the centre of the square stands a monument (1894) commemorating the 1809 defenders of the city of Girona.

Check this videoclip of Girona with great aerial views.

Our hotel, the Hotel Peninsular is situated in the very centre of the city only two minutes away from Plaça de la Independència and by the river Onyar in a pedestrian area.To round of this unforgettable week, we can’t miss a visit to our coast, the Costa Brava, one of the most spectacular in Spain, with a wild look of greenish turquoise waters. We will go on two painting excursions, to magical Cadaqués in the Cape of Creus natural park, and the home of Salvador Dali, and Calella de Palafrugell, a fishing town full of character and charisma. You can’t miss this week so full of emotions and inspiration!

      For me this week was like a dream and with my thoughts I´m still “en la Costa Brava”. The landscape, the weather, Joseph as a painter and teacher, great.

    • Que volví con muchas ganas de pintar
      Pues la verdad es que volví con muchas ganas de pintar y de tratar de poner en práctica lo que había aprendido.
      The truth is I came back eager to paint and try to put into practice what they had learned.

      —Marta Camiña (Bilbao-España)

    • I enjoyed very much all the outdoor painting
      Thanks for a great course with Mr. Bead Joseph. I enjoyed seeing a part of Spain I hadn't seen before and meeting the other artists. I enjoyed very much all the outdoor painting even though it was a bit of a challenge being with such experienced painters.

      —Maureen Goette (South Africa)

    • JZ is an amazing revelation with his clarity of thought and vision and of course a fantastic painter
      JZ is an amazing revelation with his clarity of thought and vision and of course a fantastic painter. What he states is often “blindingly obvious”, but why didn´t I think of it I ask myself!

    • Video Testimonial by Ahmet Ogras (Turkey)

      —Ahmet Ogras (Turkey)

    • I learned a lotaprendí muchísimo
      I did not learn something - I learned a lot. Green paint, listening to your thoughts on what is art was something very special and very rewarding for me. Now, says Mone, I hope to move it to my watercolors. Thank you very much for being you Alvaro.No aprendí algo, aprendí muchísimo. Verte pintar, escuchar tus pensamientos sobre lo que es el arte fue algo muy especial y muy enriquecedor para mí. Ahora, como dice Mone, espero poder trasladarlo a mis acuarelas. Muchas gracias por ser como eres Alvaro.

      —Társila Jiménez (Spain)

    • …a perfect match!
      Comparing with some workshops in France, this place has a remarkable environment which is really inspiring. Some interesting sea views and boats which are just there are giving the right atmosphere. Joseph is quite unique as a teacher but even more as a person. Together with the organisation of Angela this worked out as a perfect match!

      —Jan van Loock (Belgium)

    • I found it challenging, stimulating and very enjoyable
      Anyway I would like to thank you and Elizabeth for providing such a wonderful experience in Girona, I really enjoyed it and I found it challenging, stimulating and very enjoyable. The locations were fantastic and I particularly enjoyed the coastal villages but Girona was equally enchanting. Mixing with people from different countries and cultures was also excellent. Alvaro is a very gifted artist and he creates such wonderful paintings but I think his methods caught a few of us out; many of us had never been faced with the approach he takes so I was found it hard and lost confidence in myself.

      —Dave Betty (UK)

    • I achieved what I set out to achieve in watercolour painting
      Thank you for a wonderfully successful and happy course. You worked extremely hard to achieve so much in difficult conditions what with the adverse weather and the volcano ash. I achieved what I set out to achieve in watercolour painting, and Tim enjoyed it far more than he had anticipated. You had gathered an interesting group of people from all round the world for us to chat to in free times.

      —Hilary Goodwin (UK)

    • I’ll fondly remember this joyful evening and delicious feast again and again
      I’d like to thank you for your excellent flexible organisation and above all, your kind personal care. You helped me in every way from the beginning to the end. My last evening in Girona was unforgettable. I’ll fondly remember this joyful evening and delicious feast again and again.

      —Setsuko Ohara (Kuwait)

    • We both have had the most amazing time
      We both have had the most amazing time, made some wonderful new friends and enjoyed every minute of it despite the weather. I feel so priveledged to have been able to watch Charles every day and have him look at my own offerings.

      —Jenny Hawke (UK)

    • Life Changing…!
      A challenging yet stimulating experience with a great artist and tutor. Joseph’s workshops was the best ever. A great workshop, an excellent teacher in a great location all by the courtesy and help of EPC. Thank you! I think I will be a much better painter from now on. I came to improve my painting so Joseph’s choice of varied subjects and his explanations were fantastic – life changing for me! If you like watercolours you will have loved this. Magnifico! I would reccomend EPC because I think you provide a learning environment that combines art with enjoyment.

      —Dave Betty (United Kingdom)

    • Maestro, SEI GRANDE! :)
      Thank you Alvaro for all that you have been sharing with us during last week. Your words won’t be forgotten and neither the wonderful experience I had. Maestro, SEI GRANDE! :)

      —Montse Albareda (Spain)

    • It was very worthwhile for me!
      It’s my first time to attend a workshop in a foreign country. I learned a lot. Joseph’s lessons were very systematic and he really has the aim to teach. I learned new techniques and I’m going to practise them back in Japan, putting this experience and knowledge into practice. It was very worthwhile for me. I had a wonderful time and if it’s possible I’d like to come back. Many thanks to Joseph and Angela and the other staff.

      —Masato Ueda (Japan)

    • Una organización “de 10”!
      Inmejorable, creo que he aprendido mucho. Ahora tengo que practicar y poner a funcionar todo lo que llevo dentro! Si volvería? De hecho ya es mi segunda vez. Y ya estoy recomendando EPC en mi entorno! La organización es “de 10”, por todo lo que ponen de su parte para que todo funcione bien. El profesor es muy atento, más teniendo en cuenta que no nos entendíamos!

      —Rosa Casado (Spain)

    • Thanks for a wonderful week
      Thanks again for a wonderful week and for all your help and assistance which was much appreciated.

      —Charles Kelly (UK)

    • One of the most enjoyable art experiences I’ve had
      I also would like to thank you and ‘Vincent’ for making my painting holiday with Charles Reid in Girona one of the most enjoyable art experiences I’ve had and hopefully I can join you again sometime.

      —Dave Betty (UK)

    • 1000% improvement
      Everything was good in the course. I appreciate the course very much but also the very good mind setting of all the other students. Special attention for the organisation: NO trouble for us means focus on the painting... AND IT WAS VERY GOOD! On Monday 24 I had "zero" knowledge of watercolour. At the end I had a 1000% improvement and happiness to be getting this feeling, many thanks for that! I’ll never forget! Joseph was telling so many jokes but he was also taking care of all and of course a really good professional in training after years of experience. Very friendly! Super to meet him! Thank you so much!

      —Patrick Arcidiacono (France)

    • Joseph is such a tremendous teacher
      The class was exceptional, lovely people and a great group of Spanish folks. The locale was beautiful, great accommodations and food. I'm home two weeks and have not come down from the cloud yet, enjoyed the entire class. Joseph is such a tremendous teacher, I will be forever grateful to him for introducing me to MR. BEAD!

      —Jack Haran (USA)

    • Everything was always arranged perfectly
      Many thanks for a superb course. The tuition goes without saying but I feel I must say how superbly you organised everything without any fuss. We never had to worry because we knew everything was always arranged perfectly.

      —Arnold Lowrey (UK)

    • Thank you for being so SUPPORTIVE AND HELPFUL
      Thank you very much again for being so SUPPORTIVE AND HELPFUL making our trip so memorable.
