Painting Light in Oils

I am absolutely thrilled to have Jenny here for three days in April. Her accolades are almost too many to mention, including the coveted Baltic exchange award and becoming a full member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists. Jenny captures light like almost no other and her book ‘Painting into the Light’ is now an Amazon bestseller, with just reason. Jenny is a gentle and supportive tutor, who gets the best out of her students with her calm and encouraging critiques.

The intention is to spend the days here in the landscape but should the weather be unkind, Jenny will teach in the studio and we will learn how to work from photographs to create a painting with the sense of place and immediacy of being en plein air.
