About Spain and the workshop area

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 since Easter up to mid October.But not only that: our coast, the Costa Brava, is one of the most beautiful in Spain, with the wild look of some beaches and coves in Mallorca or Sardinia, but also with bigger sandy beaches. Our workshop area, Roses Bay, in Santa Margarita beach near Roses, is a big sandy beaches, at the foot of Cape of Creus National Park, where flora and wildlife are totally preserved. That’s where Cadaqués is situated, one of the venues of our painting excursions. The other one,Castelló  d’Empúries, A very rugged coast with unspoilt coves and maritime life, wild landscape, lost castles and prehistorical settlements. Near Roses is the Aiguamolls de l’Empordà, a bird sanctuary where they stop on their way to Doñana in Seville. Roses is the capital city of the area, at about 20 Kms. from Figueres and the Dali Museum, and 30 Kms. from France.
I can’t resist the temptation to show you a clip of Sa Tuna, near Begur. We aren’t going there, but that area encapsules the meaning of Costa Brava. In September though, we will visit Calella, the last place on the clip.But lets get focussed, have a look at this Costa Brava from the Airclip, up to min 1.20 is the Cape of Creus area. Between min. 1.00 and 1.20, that is Roses. Enjoy!!

About Tom: The Architecture of Light

      Hi Angela, I again congratulate you on your work and always give you the best of you. It was a pleasure meeting you and hope we meet again somewhere in this common passion that unites us. A kiss.

      —Lydia Cuevas (Spain)

    • Très bonne organisation!
      J’ai aimée la très bonne organisation (chevalets, papiers, thé, gàteaux, etc.) et l’amitié!

      —Marthe Salavin (France)

    • It was without doubt, my best course ever!
      Just to thank you and to let you know that I had a great time and it was without doubt, my best course ever!

      —Peter Robson (UK)

    • 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)

    • Finally I have learnt how to paint The Way I Always Dreamt Of
      What a fantastic painting course-the AMAZING SIGHTS of Catalonia “sing” from my sketchbooks. Thank you for making this possible and Charles for sharing the secrets.

      —Cheryl Williams (UK)

    • 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)

    • 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)

    • 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.

      Just a quick note to thank you for all your organisation skills for what I thought was an enjoyable workshop, and I loved meeting you and all the other painters I had lots of laughs and I painted sort of ok.

    • 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.

    • 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)

    • I feel much more confident in planning and executing a watercolor
      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. I'm still finding his remarks and comments about watercolor I never heard of before somewhere in my head and I feel much more confident in planning and executing a watercolor.

      —Dieter Jauernig (Germany)

    • 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)

    • It was an unforgettable time
      Mi alma esta en Girona hasta ahora, paseando por las callas estrechas,mirando a las casas viejas y bonitas, deseando pintar. Pero todo tiene su final…..que lástima… How I am missing all of you! It was unforgettable time. Thanks to everybody for wonderful company. Tenía suerte de conocer a gente como ustedes.Ojalá que nos encontremos otra vez…….It is cold in Russia now, I would like to go back…

    • 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)

    • 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!

    • …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)

    • 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.
