‘Learn to paint’ break in idyllic rural Perthshire

An idyllic landscape for a painting holiday in Scotland, The Four Seasons Hotel in St Fillans looks out over the natural beauty of Loch Earn and the surrounding hills.

One of the most enviable settings in Scotland, the views from the hotel are ever-changing with the fresh new colours of spring, light evenings, spectacular sunsets and atmospheric early morning mists.

The five night painting break runs from 4pm on Sunday 8th May to 2pm Friday 13th May 2011 and costs from £777 (chalet) and £849 (hotel). The price includes all tuition, dinner each night in the two AA Rosette Meall Reamhar Restaurant and accommodation with full Scottish breakfast plus a packed lunch each day.

Michael Kitchen will again be tutoring the exciting week on the Spring Colours of May. Michael is a professional artist with over 40 years painting experience including running painting holidays and courses at his Wood of Shaws studio in Aberdeenshire.

Guests may use whichever medium they wish and each day there will be structured teaching and demonstrations, as well as plenty of individual tuition and encouragement. Weather permitting, painting will be out in the open air at some of the most stunning countryside in Perthshire.

The break is suitable for people of any ability and non-painting partners will be welcome with discount on accommodation for those sharing.

Only one hour’s drive from Glasgow or Edinburgh, The Four Seasons Hotel, with its fabulous position on the banks of Loch Earn is the ideal getaway for those who enjoy good food, relaxation, quality time with loved ones and tranquil yet magnificent views.
