Ken Howard RA invites you to paint alongside him in Venice
An exclusive and fabulous opportunity for aspiring students and artists to work alongside one of our most revered Royal Academicians in the location he is most famous for. Capture the light as it moves across Venice. Enjoy convivial evenings getting to know Ken Howard
Every day will be spent painting in Venice. Ken works relentlessly from dawn to dusk, following the best light as it moves across the city. You will learn much from working alongside him – he is extremely generous in providing information and plenty of encouragement. Ken will give some informative talks and presentations on how he works during the week, but the informal style of this holiday will not include tuition, demonstrations or critics. Ken will be working in oils but all mediums are welcome. You may choose to work alongside Ken or independently.
