Vicky enjoying her pastel painting at Xativa Castle near Valencia - a great painting with stunning views all around. Such a great place to paint! |
My first art holiday with 'Dalvaro Art' in Spain (but not the last) I can safely say this -
it is a place like no other, very unique with a wonderful relaxed atmosphere and a very exciting and inspirational place to paint...for all of us!
 |
Early evening November moon at "Las Orquideas" - I see one of my own paintings in the making inspired by this! |
 |
'Angel Trumpet' flowers in the gardens at "Las Orquideas" - beautiful and a real hit with everyone. |
 |
The beautiful sun filled gardens at villa "Las Orquideas" with Dalvaro Art |
 |
The dining and breakfast area at villa "Las Orquideas" with Dalvaro Art - it was so sunny in November we had to part pull the blinds down! |
The flexibility and easy going relaxed ambience nurtured at Dalvaro had everyone quickly settled in and looking forward to some great painting experiences at inspirational settings. With a great art group who created superb work each and every day with me it was fabulous!
 |
Early evening at "Las Orquideas" - superb inspirational views which we all painted |
 |
Morning mists and sunrise. A great start to each day at "Las Orquideas" - every day is exciting, inspirational and different at Dalvaro Art |
Everyone got so much out of the art holiday trying new things, new subjects and new media. It was a real thrill to teach a great group with an open mind plenty of techniques and do some great work too for everyone - such is Dalvaro Art!

Jane's wonderful painting of the view from the terrace at "Las Orquideas" painted with pastel on the amazing Canson Mi-Teintes 'Touch' pastel paper - our favourite pastel paper! |
 |
The terrace garden at "Las Orquideas" - amazing views towards the distant mountains overlooking the beautiful mature planting with exotic plants...and the tennis court of course! |
 |
Marion's wonderful pastel painting of the terrace gardens and tennis court and those beautiful distant mountains. First time with pastels for Marion and what a great painting this is on Canson Mi-Tientes 'touch' pastel paper (black' this time from a choice of 10 colours). Great result Marion! |
Here's the feedback from everyone:

A place in the sun at the villa. The lovely terrace garden at "Las Orquideas" with beautiful views towards the distant mountains. |
With fabulous work created by everyone, top class tuition, everything laid on in the fully equipped studio it's fab to know that I too 'more than made my mark' so to speak with a lasting impression helping everyone Ito improve their work in lots of different directions.
It was sad to go and wave good bye to everyone and the four friendly dogs which are lovely to be with too!
The lucky students had another day at Dalvaro to further relax and enjoy themselves at the end of the course and soak up the last of the lovely Spanish sun before heading home.
I'll be back next year for sure with a new teaching program for everyone. Next year's art holiday is going to be really great as well! I'm look forward to teaching at Dalvaro Art in 2017 already and sharing some quality time again with Harold and Loli and a new group of students again for more painting adventures in Valencia.
