No matter what your painting or printing ability or level is, or preferred media, watercolours, oil, silk screen etc. you will soon be caught up in the boundless exuberance, passion and excitement which both Dolores and Derek share with everyone when practicing or talking art. This is the painting holiday that allows you to expand on your painting or printing know-how in the Spanish sun. Learn your art and the art of relaxation.
Class sizes are deliberately kept small with usually only three to six students. This ensures that in-depth tuition and individual attention is always maintained with the result that no-one will feel left out, lost, out of their depth or struggling alone. Anyone requiring extra tuition will find it easily and eagerly given. Whether you are an experienced artist or just beginning your painting adventure, a Dalvaro Art painting course will give you the individual attention that you deserve. Dolores is fully experienced in teaching students of different levels in various media. She will teach you, in situ, at various locations just a short drive from the studio. Each location will be different and will include landscape or architectural views. These sessions last for approximately three hours per day and continue in the studio after a leisurely lunch.
PRINTING WORKSHOP HOLIDAYS
Ideal for those adventurous artists to try something completely different, or for those experienced enough to try new formats. Whether it’s lithography, photo etching, monoprinting, silk screen printing or etching that captivates your imagination, you will be able to immerse yourself in your own wonderful world of artistic freedom here at ‘Las Orchideas’.
This is an entirely studio based course, with all the equipment and materials included. Easels, stools, drawing board and cleaning materials are all provided. You may wish to bring your own personal equipment (i.e. drawing pads, pencils, soft pencils, pastels, charcoal brushes etc.) although most basic materials can be purchased from the studio.
She has had various exhibitions in England, Spain and France.Dolores welcomes students, of all levels of ability from absolute beginner to the more advanced amateur or professional artist, to share her home and purpose built studio.
Derek Oliver - a self-taught, full time professional artist, with a strong interest in all aspects of art and an immense passion for teaching and seeing other artists develop. Being a self-taught artist, he has had first-hand experience of what it is like to be frustrated in the world of art, with all mediums, especially the most difficult, watercolour, but because of his strong passion to create art, he persevered and came through these frustrations. Therefore he is quite able to sympathise with those beginners and developers who, at times, go through the same disillusions and frustrations that we all do, and can help them get through it too. His teaching methods have proven to be a success amongst all of his students and this satisfaction, has given him the desire to pass on his immense and invaluable knowledge and techniques to as many budding artists as is possible.

During their stay students can be assured that they will meet many interesting (and extremely friendly) people from Benigánim, all of whom will help to make this a wonderful, relaxing and informative holiday.The weather pattern here is very stable and, because it is so far away from the stormy Atlantic and near to the warm mass of the Mediterranean, the weather forecaster’s job is relatively easy. Sunny weather tends to linger and it becomes much easier to plan events such as picnics and barbeques.
Valencia enjoys a Californian type climate with the nearby Mediterranean moderating the temperatures so that summer days are usually cooler than those further inland and winter nights stay relatively warm. This means that throughout most of the year staying cool is far more important than keeping warm. The average annual temperature is 17.8°C (64°F ) with average daily highs of 22.3°C (72°F) and lows of 13.4°C (56°F) which compares with a daily average high of 12.8°C (55°F) and low of 6.1°C (43°F) for the UK and Ireland.
