Looking for an inspiring role next Summer? Since Collett's started in 1998 we have had an artist in resort to offer informal watercolour tuition to our guests. Not only do these mountains offer spectacular variety and exhilaration to walkers, they provide masses of wonderful subject matter to the artist. Study our main website to get an idea of the awe-inspiring terrain that characterises the area, and imagine trying to capture it on paper!
We offer our guests the opportunity to paint five days a week (not Wednesdays or Saturdays). The Resort Artist is responsible for providing informal watercolour tuition to guests on a one to one basis or in a small group, normally on location somewhere in the area.
Other duties would include domestic help in our chalets (assistance before, during and after breakfast and dinner, preparation of packed lunches, room and apartment cleans and changovers, welcoming new guests and settling them in).
Painting Days involve spending the day with a group of guests in an outdoor location offering watercolour tuition and helping in the evening at 'Office Hour' (and occasionally in one of the chalets at dinner). These are the days on which you can enjoy the breathtaking scenery that surrounds us in the Dolomites in the company of our guests, who, like you, are likely to have a passion for the outdoors, and hopefully an interest in painting!
The majority of guests will be walkers interested in a days painting, but there are some who come out with the specific intention of painting as often as possible. These people vary in experience and ability, but it is fair to say that the majority of guests require help with basic painting/drawing skills.
It normally works out that the artist provides four days tuition per week then has two days of domestic duties. Domestic Days involve the day to day domestic chores that are required to keep our properties running efficiently - cleaning, kitchen assistance, room changes, tending to the window boxes, food and wine supplies etc.

The following are absolutely essential:
* Formal training in art & or design up to HND or degree level. Failing this, a sound personal ability in painting.
* Our artists need not be watercolour specialists nor experienced tutors as such. We are looking for an engaging and naturally helpful personality, who enjoys people and passing on their knowledge as an artist.
A Bonus but Not Essential
* Teaching experience of some sort, or a genuine interest in sharing your skills with others.
* Full Driving Licence (accompanied of course by safe and sound driving skills).
* A basic First Aid qualification. |
