Watercolour Painting Holidays 2013

with Ann Mortimer SFP

Dear friends,

I’m writing tell you all about two residential watercolour painting holidays I am offering in 2013. 

The package includes full tuition in a designated, comfortable studio and two nights’ accommodation in en-suite rooms with coffee/tea making facilities, television and wi-fi, as well as a light lunch every day and a three-course dinner on the Monday and Tuesday evenings. 

Both courses will begin on Monday at 10am and will have three full days painting, packing up at 3-4pm on Wednesday.

This year we will have an extra dimension - my daughter Sophie, a trained Yoga teacher, qualified Holistic Massage Therapist and an accomplished artist in her own right is helping with the courses. She will be offering optional gentle morning yoga as part of the package and evening massage at £15 per half hour session for anyone who would like to find deep relaxation after a hard days painting.

The venue is Alison House Hotel and Conference Centre in the heart of the picturesque and historic Derbyshire Peak District village of Cromford - www.alison-house-hotel.co.uk. It is a comfortable, friendly, fully licensed hotel in beautiful surroundings.

The price will be £375 everything included, with non-painting partners at £150. Non-resident painters are welcome at £250 (includes all lunches and dinners).

Dates for the courses:

Mon 24th – Wed 26th June 2013

Mon 9th – Wed 11th Sept 2013

I’m really looking forward to this. I know we can have a wonderful painting break away from it all, with everything laid on and no worries apart from having to change our painting water every now and again. Bliss!

The course will be studio based with the option of doing some sketching and painting within the grounds. I envisage doing a mixture of flowers and landscape/ gardens/ features, but I will send you more details later on.

Please drop me an email if you’re interested at annmortimer@gmail.com

or telephone 0115 9743658 / 07792 546431.

Best Wishes, Ann
