August 10th-24th 2019
By request we are organising a painting holiday at The Green Hotel, Mysore, South India.
Lead by the wonderful artist Dolph Van Eden
“Dolph Van Eden is an inspiring teacher, who adapts intuitively to all levels of expertise. Very well organised, encouraging and inclusive”
“Dolph is a very insightful and kind teacher”
Mysore will provide a wonderful backdrop. Each day will bring a different location and theme: wild life, street scenes; temples; markets; dhobighats; flowers; palaces; people… Choose your own medium –all varieties taught.
What to expect:
- Delicious food (buffet meals, including vegetarian options)
- Special diets catered for
- Good company and friendly atmosphere
- A chance to meet new people
- Wonderful shopping opportunities
The Green Hotel: The Hotel was set up as a model of sustainable tourism by the Charities Advisory Trust, our parent charity. All profits are distributed to charitable and environmental projects in India. It’s a small Palace, with a garden block. For the last 10 years our 2 acre garden has won the prize for the best garden in Mysore. There will be plenty of time for relaxation and sightseeing.
“The Green Hotel is a wonderful place to stay and Mysore is a singularly inspiring city with wonderful architecture and colourful streets”
Weather should be pleasant with possibility of occasional showers.
A unique opportunity to see real India and visit project supported by the Green Hotel and Good Gifts Catalogue.
