Welcome to Killarney Art Holidays....at the Lake Hotel Killarney

Starting in May 2010, I will be holding PLEIN AIR PAINTING classes at  THE LAKE HOTEL Killarney.

In other words, OUTDOOR PAINTING in the grounds of the Lake Hotel, with panoramic views of the lakes, mountains and National Park just beyond the hotel lawn. There will be an option to move indoors at a moments notice depending on the weather, so we can continue to paint inside if need be.

‘Plein Air’ or ‘Outdoor’ painting is different to a studio setting, there’s a wonderful sense of being part of what you’re painting, which is really something in a location as beautiful and tranquil as the Lake Hotel. Classes will take the same format with small groups and step-by-step instruction with Tina Reed. There will be a full set of course notes given out, describing the techniques used during the course with reminders and tips on colour mixing, composition and brush/ palette-knife methods.

Next plein air course is Tuesday 17th August to Saturday 21st August. Book for all or part of the week. €55 per day.

Classes are suitable for beginner and intermediate painters.

If you’d like to book accommodation whilst attending a course, special hotel rates are available by contacting the Lake Hotel, www.lakehotel.com

Painting classes are very small groups (4 to 5 people) which allows for a high level of personal attention where ideas and inspiration can be shared with like-minded people. We aim to give you all the tutoring that you need in a friendly environment where students help each other and enjoy themselves.

All that is needed is an interest in painting, a truly absorbing pastime at any level. Our aim is to help you make the most of your painting abilities and develop your own approach to brushwork, composition and colour.

Killarney has plenty to offer a non-painting partner or family member whatever their age or interests from sightseeing to shopping, numerous restaurants, a golfers haven with three 18-hole, and three 9-hole golf courses in Killarney alone. This vibrant town with its incredibly beautiful surrounding countryside makes Killarney a very special place indeed.
