The County Down region
County Down, with its largest town Bangor, is one of the six counties that forms beautiful Northern Ireland. The impressive Mourne mountains rise from the coast to heights of 800 metres and more, ideal for hiking enthusiasts. Overall it is a place of rugged coastal scenery with a climate not unlike that of mainland UK, sheltered as it is from the full force of the Atlantic winds.

This is an opportunity to learn about using oil paint to portray the beautiful light and landscape of Lecale, a historically rich region of Co.Down. Suitable for beginners and regular painters the class will be led by artist Michael O’Neill who has been living and working in the region for two years.
