New workshop date added: Forest bathing – woodlands
The Forest bathing workshop on Saturday 29 October is now sold out. A waiting list has been formed, however, I have now secured the venue for a second date – Friday 28 October. This is another one day workshop when we will be looking in depth at the same lovely subject – deep dappled woodland in receding blues and cool emerald greens.

My article in latest Artist Magazine:
I am excited that the new edition of the artist magazine includes my painting “meadow riot” with an accompanying article explaining how to paint this exuberant meadow scene.
I write about how to reserve sharp white areas of the page for daisies, as well as contrasting, soft, wet-in-wet passages of paint that can be dragged and cut through with my one inch flat brush.
The September edition is available to purchase from painters-online from 15 July via this link: https://www.painters-online.co.uk/store/latest-issue/the-artist/?utm_campaign=356317_PO%20I%20SEPT%20ISSUES%20I%20JUL11%20I%202022%20I%20DYNAMIC%20
New plein air workshop this August
Try guided painting outdoors alongside Bath’s spectacular waterways
If you haven’t dared to paint outdoors before – or have just never got around to it – put Saturday 6 August in your diary and join me capturing Bath’s spectacular waterways in line and wash.
Four gorgeous views have been researched for you to paint, some tucked away on the canal plus an iconic view of the river in central Bath. There will be chats along the way about colour, line and pooling paint as well as an element of one-to-one tuition and a final critique.
This day runs 10:30 – 3 and is suitable for all abilities. If you need materials there is an option to have them provided for you. The route is just over a mile and we will be standing for periods of time. In the event of heavy rain the day will be rescheduled for the following Saturday 13 August. More details on application.
