Each morning at 10 a.m. the students meet in the studio and Chris O’Neill describes the location for that day, pointing out the interesting environmental features. Then the tutor and group make their way to the chosen site, with emphasis on painting “en plein air”. Painters return to the studio by 5 p.m.

The studio space is used for back up in case of poor weather and for exhibitions of work and end of course critiques . Painters have access to the studio facilities from early morning until late evening, with a free tea and coffee making corner . Portable easels and stools may be hired and a range of art materials are on sale each morning. DVD’s, magazines and reference books all add to the art experience and creative atmosphere of the Burren Painting Centre.

Beginners, improvers and experienced painters are all welcome at O’Neill’s Burren Painting Centre.The group number is limited to 15 participants. Non residents may also join the painting courses, when space allows.
