Painting Holiday In Beautiful Tuscany

Il Mulino di Posara  ~ The Watermill At Posara

A special week-long painting course in water-mixable oils, watercolours, pastels, acrylics and other media with

Murray Ince: 7-14 September 2013

For centuries artists have drawn their inspiration from the Tuscan landscape and you could find few better places to enjoy your art and improve your skills than our beautiful historic watermill, set beside the curving banks of a river in a gentle, wooded valley.

 “An enchanting place - I really loved it, endless delightful subjects to paint”     “From the moment I stepped into my apartment and saw and heard the river, I realised it was going to be very special”

 “We’ve been on many painting holidays, but this was the best ever.”

You will stay in stylish bedrooms in elegant buildings around the sunlit courtyard. You’ll take leisurely breakfasts and mouth-watering evening meals in our new courtyard dining room (and also dine out in nearby restaurants to sample traditional dishes and local wines).  The mill’s gardens, secluded millstream paths and riverside walks are all yours to enjoy.

                              

 Murray Ince’s ‘signature’ medium is water-mixable oils, about which he has written a book, but he likes working in all media, specialising in landscapes, seascapes and buildings.

As well as working successfully in the commercial art market, he’s an enthusiastic and inspiring tutor with many years’ teaching experience, demonstrating and running workshops throughout the UK and Europe.

Murray believes that “anybody can learn to draw and paint: with sufficient desire and technical ‘know how’ (tricks of the trade) anybody has it within themselves to create a masterpiece or two. It gives me the greatest of pleasure in proving it”.

The pictures above show (L) Murray with his youngest student (Murray is on the left!); (R) Murray’s lovely acrylic of the walled garden at Parham Park.
