 Welcome If you have always wanted to explore your creative spirit or wish to get back into art practice then come along to one of my classes. The courses are open to all, from the beginner and intermediate to the more experienced artist. You may enjoy my Higham Hall course, Finding Inspiration through Watercolour held on 15th - 17th October 2023 in the Northern Lake District.

View the Courses page or the Art Holidays page for upcoming events or keep up-to-date with the latest news on social media and follow work-in-progress from the studio. ART MATERIALS CHECKLISTIf you are coming on a Rainbow Paintbox taster day, basic water-based paints in the colours of the rainbow will be adequate. To attend one of my watercolour courses it is advisable to collect the various colours suggested, but as this can be quite costly, a more limited palette can initially be used and added to gradually. Pigments in italic are not essential at the beginning of the course. Artists may wish to purchase them later to complete a wider range of colours. Tubes are recommended if buying for the first time. Depending on your budget you can purchase artists' quality paints from the Winsor & Newton range or student quality in the Cotman series. R A I N B O W P A I N T B O X This traditional palette of colours was developed in the early 20th century.
