BOOK
Intensive 5 day art course on Skye, Scotland.
Tutor: Jan van Boeckel


Picture
At the invitation of Flora Laing of Hame Hotel, this wildpainting course is coming to the wild terrain of the Isle of Skye! Situated off the west coast of Scotland, the isle is known for its beautiful scenery and unique land formations. Skye or Eilean a’Cheo (misty isle in Scottish Gaelic) is the largest island of the Inner Hebrides, and a vibrant place of legend and myth. 
On Skye, we will open ourselves to and experience the dramatic landscape of mountains, lochs (lakes) and glens (valleys) through making art right in the heart of it.

Picture
Tutor Jan van Boeckel will guide you in exploring this enchanting place through painting – working with colour, tonality and composition. Weather permitting, we will work among the rocks and fields or at the coastline, capturing the ever-changing scenes. Jan will invite you to paint in ways that you have probably never experienced before. He will encourage you to work beyond habitual ways of making art – and thus to see ‘the misty isle’ with fresh eyes!
This wildpainting course is meant for both beginners and more experienced painters. More experienced painters and other artists (like all other participants) will receive and hopely benefit from individual tutoring, tailored to their respective levels, skills, and needs.

Comments by former participants

Somehow I feel less controlled and more playful when I paint in stronger colours, I can let go. And I allow my ‘personal handwriting’ to grow, and the pictures develop to be much more expressive. I feel that I have finally found my own ‘language’ in how to paint.                                               Susan
Jan van Boeckel is a warm, engaging art teacher. His outstanding teaching methods, his painting skills and his passion for art and art history are very inspiring. He attends to each student's unique potential - no one will feel overlooked under Jan's caring guidance. In addition, he has the exceptional habit to join in with the students and paint for himself along with them. Thank you for a wonderful course!

Good atmosphere. "Högt i tak", as we say in Sweden. The food - made painting even better!! Nice reviewing sessions.
