Book Your Creative Experience in the Algarve
Whether you have just a few hours or a full week — there’s a soulful way to immerse yourself
in the light, landscape, and rhythm of this place.
WATERCOLOUR
WINTER
WEEKENDS
Two cozy weekend editions at Pinta Roxa, right in downtown Olhão.
Warm afternoons, gentle light, and time to slow down — these winter weekends offer a calm, immersive approach to watercolor. Each edition includes two guided 3-hour sessions, designed to deepen your technique while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and inspiring.
Small groups of 4–6 participants allow for individual guidance and a focused, welcoming studio experience.
Sketchwalks
Discover Faro, Olhão and Tavira with a sketchbook in hand.
These relaxed, small-group walks invite you to tune in to atmosphere, detail, and everyday charm — all while gently developing your drawing practice.
We stop to sketch, observe, and share. It’s about slowing down and seeing more.
Scroll down to find the experience that speaks to you and book your place in advance — each one is guided with heart, care, and a love for this unique place.
Art Escapes
Looking for more than just a class — something spacious, inspiring, and full of discovery?
Our multi-day journeys offer a deeper way to engage with watercolor and the Algarve’s stunning terrain.
