Painting Holiday in Portugal
The painting weeks at Monte do Casarão in 2022 are from:
- April 13th to April 20th
- September 28th to October 5th
You can paint or sketch using any technique and any materials you like. The group will consist of 15 persons at most. Margot Maria Verhoeven, a gifted Dutch painter and an inspiring teacher, is happy to support and coach the students during both art weeks. The course is for beginners and for advanced students.
Where to stay
You will be staying in one of Monte do Casarão’s attractive and comfortable cottages with breath-taking views: in Casa Marcanta, Casa Boa or Casa Valorosa (each with two double bedrooms and one bathroom) or in Casa Basta (with three double rooms and two bathrooms). Food, drink and transport (from and to Faro airport, on Monte do Casarão and to the painting locations) are taken care of.
What are the costs
The costs for the all-inclusive art week amount to € 769 per person (flight and art material not included), based on one person per room. If you share a room with another student, you pay only € 579 per person. You can also bring your partner/daughter/son/or friend. Non-students get a € 75 discount on the prices mentioned before. The maximum number of people in Casa Basta is 6; the maximum number in Casa Marcanta, Casa Boa and Casa Valorosa is 4.
If you don´t want to take part in the all-inclusive offer, you pay the rent of the cottage (at least during the painting week) + € 328 per student. A possibility for those who like to come with non-painting friends or relatives. The costs of living and transport you have to pay yourselves.
We have some places left for those who live nearby and only want to take part in a few painting days. Costs are € 30 per morning or afternoon. Lunch € 7,50.

Novembro. É tempo de medronho. A colheita dura três meses, Outubro, Novembro e Dezembro. De poucos em poucos dias, os apanhadores de medronho passam por aqui para tirar os frutos maduros da árvore. Se quiser um medronho saboroso, a chave é colher apenas as bagas intactas e correctamente coloridas. Se pode fazer compota dos frutos, mas a grande maioria é colocada em barris para fermentar para que mais tarde, em Março, o medronho possa ser destilado a partir deles. O licor local. Uma bebida muito pesada, mas saborosa. E mata de imediato todas as bactérias más. Também nunca vai mal.
