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.

Algarve em Aguarela

Watercolor can feel elusive — but once it flows, it opens up a whole new way of seeing.

If you’re looking for a calm, soulful space to slow down, learn the essentials, and gently deepen your creative skills, this is for you.

Choose from themed one-day courses like Barcos de Olhão and Portas e Janelas de Olhão — designed to explore core watercolor techniques while tuning in to the atmosphere of a place.

Step by step, I’ll guide you through observation, color, and expression — with clarity, joy, and just enough adventure.

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.
