Spend the day with Jenny Aitken learning how to achieve the illusion of light on the water.

We will start with a tonal painting, followed by a full colour version. Jenny will begin the day with a short demo, followed by a colour demo just before lunch. She will provide notes and images, though participants are encouraged to bring their own photograhs as reference if they prefer. This event will take place at the LIfford Hall in the centre of Broadway.

Jenny Aitken is an internationally award-winning artist and active member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists. She has worked with students regularly over the last twenty years, and has written two best-selling books on oil painting, including ‘Painting into the Light‘.

Suitable for artists with some experience, not complete beginners.
