Shot entirely on location in the Mediterranean, this series accompanies AIwyn and his wife June on their painting holiday in Mallorca. From the bustling streets of Palma to the oldest orange grove on the isIand, from mountain villages to enchanting harbours, AIwyn and June visit the undiscovered parts of the island and share the delights of this beautifuI and varied part of the Mediterranean. Each programme contains at least four paintings and drawings, giving the audience an inspiring introduction to painting on holiday and to a very picturesque part of the worId. Episode One: ViIlages The mountain villages of Deia and Fornalutx provide the stunning locations for this programme. Subjects drawn and painted include an oId monastery, a fountain and the cobbled streets and stone houses of Fornalutx. Episode Two: The Orange Grove Shot in and around the oldest orange grove on the island, subjects include a meadow fuII of poppies, a panoramic view of the grove and the mountains behind, a gnarled olive tree and, of course, an orange. Episode Three: The Old RaiIway An electric raiIway runs between the beautifuI market town of SolIer and the capital, PaIma. AIwyn and June take the train from Palma which winds up and eventuaIIy cuts through the mountains. Built in the 1920s, the station and the trains provide pIenty of subjects for AIwyn and June to sketch and draw. Episode Four: Working lndoors Sometimes on hoIiday it suits to work indoors and in this programme Alwyn shows how to use photographs and postcards as inspiration for paintings. You don't aIways need paints and paper to create a picture: AIwyn sketches a lighthouse in biro on the back of a postcard. Episode Five: PaIma The programme starts with a panoramic view of this beautifuI old city, dominated by the massive cathedraI, which Alwyn sketches in watercolour. Moving into the city itseIf, Alwyn and June take a tour in a pony and trap, visit the Arab baths and buy cakes from a famous shop next to the Opera House. Episode Six: Boats And Harbours Subjects include traditional fishing boats in SoIler Port, a fisherman mending his nets and the cliffs at sunset |
