Painting holidays
Your painting holiday at Black Clauchrie is a wonderfully inspiring opportunity to learn. Develop your skills and own style in the peace and tranquility of Scotland.
Share in the enthusiasm of your tutor Gilbert Browne , a passionate and extremely talented fine artist and tutor. Since graduating from Chelsea School of Art with a masters degree, Gilbert has since had more than 40 exhibitions in London, USA, Istanbul and Japan to name a few. From his fine art print studio, Gilbert has completed many private commissions, including for Christies Contemporary Art and the National Trust. Today, Gilbert is actively pursuing new themes - locally inspired by our beautiful landscapes, flora and fauna by mixing loose washes with fine detailing.
Gilbert will encourage you to loose your inhibitions, allowing you to relax and grow in confidence while having tremendous fun.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced painter looking for inspiration, Gilbert will assess your personal needs to take you on to the next level.
Capture the natural beauty of Scotland’s outstanding wild landscapes, while enjoying the home comforts and relaxed, friendly atmosphere of Black Clauchrie House.
Not allowing spring showers dampen our spirits, in bad weather we will set up in the beautiful surroundings of the ballroom or light filled conservatory, both overlooking the gardens and fishing pond.
