Jackie Garner, wildlife artist

"Wow! I'd never have thought I could do that"

- Comment from a student

I'm really looking forward to teaching the Highland wildlife art course "Wildlife and Landscape", at the Aigas Field Centre, Beauly, Inverness-Shire, Scotland IV4 7AD during the week of 7-14 Sept 2013.

I'm adamant that everyone can learn to draw and I love to help my students make progress, whether they're complete beginners, enthusiastic amateurs, or experienced but struggling in a particular area.

About Aigas
For over 30 years, Aigas has been offering fully inclusive, small-group learning holidays and study courses exploring the stunning wildlife, habitats and landscapes of the Scottish Highlands and Islands.

It's a glorious place and fully deserves its global reputation. It's hard to imagine anywhere better for a wildlife art course. Think pine marten, badger and beaver, black grouse, eagles and red squirrels all set among mountains, glens, lochs, forest and coast. Tempted...?

Inspiration + Tuition = Result!

The 2013 course is now fully booked. Please contact Aigas for enquiries about future dates
www.aigas.co.uk

What's included in the course?

• Demonstration and practical day on field sketching of animals
• Presentation and workshop on colour and texture
• Skies and foliage workshops - getting your backgrounds right
• Detail in watercolour demonstration & practical workshop
• Lots of painting time indoors and out (weather permitting)
• Ranger-led visits to hides for pine marten, beaver, badger and more
• Access to stunning Highland scenery, their loch and estate for inspiration
• Tutelage and support throughout
• A final show-and-tell exhibition of the work produced during the week

Price: £1,080 per person, all inclusive* of comfortable and spacious accommodation, delicious food, six full days of exploring the Highlands with the Aigas highly-qualified and dedicated ranger team, full access to the on-site hides and much much more.
Your evening tipple is even included too! To see full details and book, go to www.aigas.co.uk/

Aigas and I have agreed to run a similar course in 2014. To enquire please contact the team at Aigas.

Practical info:

• Plenty of individual & group tuition
• Programme may be adjusted according to the weather conditions
• Programme allows for varying abilities of participants and is suitable for both beginners & improvers
• Programme allows for students to use a variety of materials according to their own preferences
• Owing to the difficulty of transporting wet paintings we recommend participants use materials other than oils during the week.

Comments from my students:

"Thank you so much, I've learned lots and crossed some barriers!"

"The best art demonstration I've ever been to"

"A couple of years ago I was struggling so much with my art
I was considering giving up altogether. Then I came to one of your classes and it changed everything. I've never looked back."
