PAINTING HOLIDAY IN THE PYRENEES:
Book early!

Organised by My Favourite Things and Cecilia Jaime.
www.myft.net / www.ceciliajaime.com

Minimum of 10, maximum of 12 participants.

The Venue
You will be staying in a beautiful old converted mill, la Fàbrica, in the village of Senterada, at the
start of the stunning Vall Fosca valley in the Pyrenean foothills, around two and a half hours
drive from Barcelona.

The Programme
9.00-10.00 a.m. Breakfast in the garden

The Classes
The classes will be given by Cecilia Jaime, a Ghent-based Argentinean painter. For more information on Cecilia, go to www.ceciliajaime.com.

The course is designed for everyone: experienced painters and those who have never picked up a brush. The approach will be to take a photo of or sketch of the landscape, a detail, a person, whatever inspires you. Then, we will work on this, using a number of techniques (charcoal, pencil, water-colour, acrylic, etc.). The result can be figurative, abstract, surrealist, whatever: what is important is that you express yourself. After all, Mondrian’s orthogonal compositions were based on a tree’s branches. Cézanne and others also found their inspiration in nature.

Food
After a day of creativity, do not fear: we will pamper both body and soul with healthy and tasty food inspired by different cultures prepared from fresh, often organic ingredients. Of course, you will also have the chance to try some of the local produce. For the foodies amongst you, you are always welcome to help and learn in the kitchen!

Optional activities in the afternoon
If you want to take it easy and relax, you can do so in the garden, at the riverside or by the pool in the village, enjoy the lakes a bit further on, etc. If you are more of an active type, there are My Favourite Things

plenty of activities around: kayaking on the lake, fantastic cycling routes, walking in nearby mountains (Aigües Tortes National Park is less than an hour away), visiting local villages, etc. We will provide you with all the info you need. Of course, if your muse insists you keep on painting, we’ll try not to get in the way!

Conditions
Registrations will be open until 15 May.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@myft.net or on (34) 637 265 405.
With a maximum of 12 participants, places are strictly limited, so don’t forget: book early! Also, the earlier you book, the sooner you make transport arrangements.
