Based at the Flying Reindeer Lodge in Luosto our summer painting holidays in Lapland are of one weeks' duration and cover tuition in the areas of landscape painting in watercolours, oils, pastels etc. The painting course is appropriate for all ability levels, the groups being small (10 to 13 persons and, if appropriate, accompanying non painting partners). Advanced artistic skills are not necessary for you to enjoy this holiday equally one shouldn't expect this course to turn you into an expert overnight. Rather it is hoped that you should learn plenty, both from your tutor and fellow participants whilst appreciating the surrounding Lapland nature at it's finest.
Four tours are offered to this outstanding location. Our late May Summer holiday enables you to capture the last remaining signs of spring and the snow of winter on the hills. Our 2 Midnight Sun Summer holidays represent views totally unique to the Arctic Regions with a cornucopia of colours and our Ruska - Autumn painting holiday is best represented as being similar to the Fall in the USA. In addition Lapland being home to reindeers and huskies there is the opportunity for additional sketching opportunities available to capture these animals in their natural setting.
Students should bring their materials with them as the nearest small town of Sodankylä is located some 40 kilometres from Luosto, your home for this summer holiday in Lapland. Naturally however, easels, tables, cushions and fold up chairs will be provided locally.
Non painting partners will be able to avail of the full range of excursions that are featured within the programme with departures directly from Luosto throughout the week.
The tour cost includes full board and transfers to the various settings in the Luosto locality. Your accommodation for this holiday is provided in the Flying Reindeer Lodge which was fully refurbished in 2003. An easy way to describe this quality accommodation would be to state that it is a mixture of a traditional log wood lodge and a European Style catered chalet. All rooms have their own private power sensor shower and WC. Location is excellent within the locality being some 400 meters from the centre of this unspoilt village, Luosto.
