The Isle of Tanera Mor, by Ullapool

4 - 11 September Drawing and Painting £565

Traditional cottages, full board in single room, reduction if sharing - please ask

An artist’s paradise! The Summer Isles, floating like pearls just off the north west coast of Scotland, are magical.

Join Laura on the only inhabited island in the group. On Tanera Mor there are no cars and no TV and only the sound of the breeze and the birds will intrude on your peace. We will stay in several traditional cottages which have spectacular views back to the mainland and Stac Polly. The delicious food and wine is provided by the owners, Jean and Bill Wilder.

The theme of this holiday is Nature itself - capturing the harmony of land, sea and sky. Much of the week will be spent outdoors drawing and painting, experiencing the qualities of light and colour, breathing the air, hearing the silence so that all our senses will help us to a true understanding of this harmony which is so evident here.  However, there is a studio space for our use, if necessary.  Also, weather permitting, we will take a boat trip and explore some of the neighbouring islets.

This holiday includes:
6 days tuition (approx 5 hours per day)
7 nights full board (including wine)
Ferry from Achiltibuie to Tanera Mor
An afternoon boat trip around the islands
