Your tutor is Pam Bolton who has a BA Hons. in Fine and Applied Art from Hull University. She has owned a property in Aniezo for the last four years and prior to that visited the area over many years. She has gained a knowledge of the wildlife in particular the fauna and has a great knowledge of sites in the area that are an inspiration to any artist.

Pam will endeavour to ensure that the tuition you receive will enable you to develop your creative skills and confidence. Tuition is formal and relaxed and the aim is to provide you with a happy and fulfilling experience.

The tuition is set at each persons own level of ability and Pam will also teach the basic skills to beginners giving them the opportunity to gain first hand instruction. Whatever medium you decide to work with she will aim to give you handy techniques and tips in order that you can takes these away and develop them further.

Bringing a camera will enable you to catch the moment of a specific shadow to enable you to complete your work on site or at home. The weather in the Picos can be very changeable and the light can change very quickly from bright sunshine to the mountain tops being shrouded in cloud.

Some of our discussions and tutorials will take place in either the hotel, on site or the tutor's studio and facilities will be made available during wet weather.

We will discuss location each morning and any problems that may occur in reaching our locations. In order that everyone will be able to make their way to the sites you will be issued with site maps and parking advice. Do not worry the locations are not on top of the Picos although some may take a short walk to get to.
