We are situated near the busy pier at Port Appin, Argyll,
with inspirational views from our studio across Loch Linnhe
to the islands of Lismore and Mull and the Morvern peninsula.
Nearby Castle Stalker and the magnificent Glencoe, with its
mountains, lochs and rivers, provide a continuous source of
interesting subject matter for artists. The studio has its
own attractive garden and is adjacent to seashore walks.
Participants stay locally at a wide range of recommended accommodation
to suit all purses, from B&B's, hotels or self-catering,
and have use of our large studio as a base with as much time
as possible spent 'en plein air'. Packed lunches, teas
and coffees are provided.
Professional tuition is in small groups, to help artists at
all levels of ability to further develop their artistic skills
by inspiration and instruction, while not losing sight of
the holiday aspect. Work at your own pace in your own preferred
medium. The studio is well equipped, and easels, boards and
stools are available for use. Your work can also be reproduced
using state of the art in-house giclée printing facilities
at discounted prices for participants. Basic art supplies
are for sale.
