Painting Holidays' host Dolores Alvaro - better known as Loli - was born in Madrid but lived in London for thirty-five years before returning to Spain.
She studied at Chelsea and the University of Surrey (Roehampton) obtaining a BA with Honours. Subsequently she went on to study printing at the School of Arts (Elephant and Castle, London).
While serving as visiting tutor at Heatherlys College of Fine Art in Kings Road London, she also taught students of various levels at her private studio in Middlesex.
She has had various exhibitions in England, Spain and France.
Dolores welcomes students, of all levels of ability from absolute beginner to the more advanced amateur or professional artist, to share her home and purpose built studio. The studio is located within the landscaped grounds of her beautifully renovated colonial-styled white hillside villa -'Las Orquideas' - overlooking the delightful pueblo of Benigánim located in the Vall d'Albaida (Valencia, Spain).
We have twenty-two painting holidays registered for 2016; these are held by Dolores Alvaro and a host of well-known professional art tutors from around the world.
