			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Come and enjoy another painting adventure with Brazilian painter Fábio Cembranelli in Spain for the first time. We’ll stay in Roses, Girona province, by the sea, in the heart of Cape of Creus natural park.</strong></p>
<p>Fábio’s work nowadays is focused on plein air painting, observing and studying nature firsthand at inspiring outdoor locations. We provide a highly inspiring surrounding where his fresh style can capture the essence of the scenery fully. He also masters the art of flower painting and he tends to include them as a note of colour in his cityscapes, especially in the details of exquisite windows. There’ll be an opportunity for flower painting in the studio using the wet-in-wet technique. He’s fascinated by aerial perspectives and strives to express its diverse characteristics in painting in his en plein air workshops. Fábio is an experienced and extremely helpful tutor providing plenty of personalized tuition to help you make the best out of your learning experience in Spain.</p>
<p>We’ll explore the surrounding areas with trips to some really exciting venues nearby like Cadaqués, Girona or Besalú, and we’ll have a few sessions in an improvised studio. General critiques will be given on a regular basis as well as personal guidance.</p>
<p>You will share this wonderful experience with like-minded people providing double-learning experience as you’ll share each other’s views and experiences, you’ll talk art, live art, think art, breath art and… socialize through art afterwards.</p>
<p>Your accommodation is in Roses, in a hotel by the sea, on the water front, on a full board accommodation basis: breakfast, buffet lunch and dinner with wine are included.</p>
<p>Every detail fully organised so that you can relax and just paint and live the most enjoyable experience in Spain with Fábio!</p>
