Booking FormEnjoy another painting extravaganza with Alvaro Castagnet in Spain, for the 10th time.
We’ll stay in Girona city, full of character, with an extraordinary medieval quarter.
Come to enjoy a masterful tuition by Alvaro, in a good atmosphere and a wonderful time in Girona city with a taste of the beautiful Costa Brava. The medieval city walls of Girona enclose the old city centre with narrow streets, restaurants, shops, churches, the prominent cathedral and a never ending range of cafés where the locals spend the afternoon, all the way downhill until the river Onyar. Art and history create a unique atmosphere. Two excursions to spectacular seaside venues to paint, like Cadaqués and Calella de Palafrugell, complete this program with a big variety of subject matter. Our accommodation is in a hotel in the very heart of the city, next to every painting venue imaginable, the river and the shops. Breakfast and dinner with wine are included, except for a free Wednesday night.
“A painting only exists when you capture the deepest facet of the subject.”
Our accommodation is in a hotel by the sea in Roses, on the waterfront, on a full board basis: breakfast, buffet lunch and dinner with wine are included, except for lunches on excursion days.
What some of our students say:
“Not only is Alvaro a very talented and skillful painter, he is also able to communicate his vision through his teaching. His demos and personality have inspired me and given me a great insight in this world of watercolour: from vision, planning the painting and all the elements involved in executing it” (Niels Kristensen , Denmark)

You can expect to learn about composition, values, abstraction of subject matter, big broad brushstrokes, loosening up edges, dry brushstrokes, charcoal sketches for a better understanding of composition and values, wet-in-wet, dry brushstrokes, figures in a composition.
