Fancy a summer’s day drawing and painting in the beautiful village of Ripley ? The lovely folk at Just Makers in the Castle grounds have let me know there are a couple of free places on my workshop there on June 10, so it’s a good opportunity to join me and other like minded artists in the stunning surroundings there…
You can book directly on their website, or just give ’em a ring? It’ll be lovely to see you if you can make it.
Firstly, apologies for the lack of updates- if you’re a follower of mine on Instagram, you may know that I’ve been commissioned to write a technique book on my style of pen and wash. I’m about halfway through the text, and just making a start on the 150 new illustrations my publisher has asked for, so it’s been a little busy!
There are a few places available on a couple of workshops in the next few months, so I thought I’d post here, rather than direct you to the workshops page. These are still open at the time of writing, so be quick if you want to join me and a bunch of like-minded artists in great venues.
First is two days of workshops at hare Hill Barn- a simply breathtaking venue with outstanding views, in the southern Lake District. You can book using this link:
Next is again, two days of workshops on consecutive days- basically the same content on each day, although I do vary each day as some folk have booked both -at another fabulous venue near Penrith at the eastern edge of the Lake District: Quirky Workshops. Book using this link:
Last, but by no means least, is a workshop in a new venue to me: Beetham Nurseries near Kendal. I ran my first workshop there just last weekend: a great day in stunning surroundings with a lovely bunch of very keen artists, and I’m so looking forward to my return visit in September: You can book using this link:
Good morning all…hope we’re all okay we approach the Ides of March?
I have just filmed and uploaded the videos for a (very) loose watercolour drawing demonstration: this is part two, and you can find part one on my channel too.
Whil I have your attention, can I shamelessly plug a couple of workshops in the next couple of months, each with some spaces left?
The first is glorious surroundings of the beautiful Thorp Perrow Arboretum: one in April, and one in September. Here’s their website…you should find the booking link under ‘Events”
The New Year has got off to a great start, with news of several workshops booked in, and a fantastic new project that’ll keep me busy for the next few months: I’m sworn to secrecy as to exactly what it is, but rest assured I’ll be shouting about it when I can….
The first workshop is a new online lesson for Etchr …you can find all the information here:
Next up are a couple of workshops in the glorious surroundings of the beautiful Thorp Perrow Arboretum: one in April, and one in September. here’s their website…you should find the booking link under ‘Events”
It’s that time of year again…turkey, mince pies and a snooze in front of the telly! Seriously though, I’d just like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy, peaceful( and hopefully better) 2023.
I’m ending 2022 with a really exciting bit of news-still can’t believe it myself- which I’ll share at the start of the New Year.
Thank you all for your support, your comments on YouTube , likes on social media, and those really kind folk who’ve actually bought something over the last year…..really warms the cockles of the old bloke’s heart- thank you.
Yes, after far too long, I finally got round to adding some watercolour to my line drawing of a lovely scene of a line of washing in the back garden of a dales cottage…hope you enjoy it..
I’m looking forward very much to a workshop in a couple of weeks on the the glorious Yorkshire Coast, in Bridlington, as part of the Artwaves Festival. I’m also doing a demonstration on the big screen in the morning…
There are still couple of spaces available, so if you fancy an afternoon’s drawing and painting in my style, and are local do think about joining us? All the information is in the link…
