I have no plans to hold painting workshops in 2022 due to a lot of uncertainty as to my schedule over the summer months.
Who are they for? My workshops are aimed at painting enthusiasts who would like to explore some new ways of approaching their painting. Beginners are also welcome and can find great encouragement and help from fellow participants. If you have any queries please call Padraig at 086 8801733 or email info@padraigmccaul.com
GENERAL INFORMATION
Where are they held? The workshops are based in the old Dugort national school, now used as the Achill Scout Den. It is situated on the main Dugort road, about 200 metres up from St.Thomas's Church | (Eircode number F28 AK57)
What to expect: For the Achill worskshops we will use the landscape and coast of Achill as our inspiration, so rain wear and sun cream are essential! The workshops will involve a mix of daily talks and demonstrations by Padraig , painting and sketching on location at some of Achill's most beautiful spots (weather permitting) and indoor studio based work to develop and finish paintings. Over the course of the workshops we will look at elements such as composition and perspective, colour and movement, and how they contribute to successful landscape and coastal paintings.
Each day starts at 11.00am and finishes at 5.00pm with a break of an hour for lunch, which we have in one of the local restaurants. Lunch is not included in the price.
What to bring: Participants are advised to bring their own materials and easel. However materials (easels, canvas, paints) can all be provided if requested in advance. The only additional charge is for canvases. I work in oils but participants are welcome to use acrylics if they wish.
Payment: To book a place on one of my workshops you have the option to pay online now (deposit or full payment) or if you do not wish to pay online you can secure a place by sending a deposit of €50 or full payment to: Padraig McCaul, Dugort, Achill, Co.Mayo. Credit card payment can be made over the phone by calling 086 8801733
Accommodation: Accomodation is not provided but you can find comprehensive accommodation options on the Achill Tourism website - www.achilltourism.com. Contact number is 098 20400
If you are looking for a real treat then I am very happy to recommend Bervie Guesthouse in Keel, Achill. Situated in a stunning location, facing onto Keel beach, this is one of the most comfortable and friendliest guesthouses in the country. Contact Liz at 098 43114.
