We are living in extraordinary time and I know that as well as genuine fear of what is happening surrounding the Coronavirus, we also have anxiety about how to mentally cope if we are at home for long periods of time. What are the kids going to do? Hang on, what am I going to do?
​How do I stay calm?

My blogs, seem to refer to art being good for you quite a lot.
​
Drawing from observation uses both sides of the brain.
Drawing as an activity is calming and contemplative, and can lower blood pressure and  reduce stress.
Drawing can develop and enhance our appreciation of our surroundings.

So, I dare you to come and draw with me! You'll have a super time.

What I've been working on ....

January was a very hectic start to the year for me and I'm delighted that it was. I have been doing a number of workshops with Salisbury Museum and it's been really exciting. We've been exploring the fantastic Constable exhibition, which is in it’s final month now so do try and visit if you haven't made it so far.
And we have been exploring the drainage collection in as part of the City Story project. I love the idea of these extraordinary objects, keys, scissors and buckles, being lost or discarded in the city’s drains and water channels. I love the story that might be behind each object. Enormous keys; what did they open? And how much trouble was the person in for losing them?All of the stories got me thinking about how I produce art. I think all Artists are storytellers of some kind. Musicians, painters, writers were all trying to find the truth somewhere or trying to find our truth somewhere.

My new collection is finding the truth in my surroundings. My Countryside Companions Collection was the most popular work I have done to date. In fact you may have one hanging in your home right now.
 I adore my oil painted animals on natural linen and they have been a real hit. I have wanted to expand my collection by including surrounding areas that inspire me and to paint them on my natural linen canvases to place beside my animal artworks.
 I have drawn inspiration from my hometown of Salisbury, the beautiful nearby Georgian town of Bath, and London. I have included some extracts from my forthcoming Town and Country collection in this blog before they  are available to buy on my website. If you would like to reserve any before they are available, simply email me and I'll happily send you details. Some more beautiful animals will also be added to the collection too.

At the beginning of March I will be running a workshop in Salisbury Cathedral on how to draw the complex architecture without getting bogged down in linear perspective. I teach you some arty tricks to find your way through tricky subject matter. We will explore the natural beauty in this incredible place. I still have a few spaces left on this course; it's always good fun, relaxed and really useful if you want to have the confidence to go and sketch when you're on holiday or sitting in a cafe. I promise you it's not as intimidating as you think!

Some of my new Town and country collection will be on display in Waterstones from 19th February. I'll be blogging about that exhibition next week...

I have three lovely workshops coming up and places are going fast so book early.

On Wednesday 1st February I'm doing an all day workshop in my lovely studio called "Art for pleasure". It's my most popular workshop, and I simply love it.
Everyone has a great time and learns how to get back to their art and enjoy drawing and creating once more, even if it's been years (decades!) since they last picked up a pencil.
[I also have a few places left on Oil painting for absolute begginers on Monday 6th February]. 
Each workshop begins at 10.30 and ends around 3.30pm.
Bring your own packed lunch, I'll provide tea, coffee and squash all day!

​

We begin with drawing. A few quick drawings to start you off.
I'll teach you some great techniques to build your confidence and get you going. You'll be amwaied at what you can achieve.


You can work in a variety of different media - pastels have proved really popular in the past, when people have wanted to add colour, but don't want to head towards paint straight away. Alternatively, Watercolours are great to add a wash of colour to a drawing. I'm an oil painter by trade but I absolutely love to sketch in waterolours and lay down my ideas in this medium, so I can help with your watercolour technique too.
​

My workshops are hands on - you'll work hard and I'll do plenty of demos to help explain how you can take your art further. I wont draw all over your own work, I'll demo on separate paper, so you'll really be able to see your won work improve and develop without me cheating!

My courses are relaxed and enjoyable. 
A Maximum of 5 places means that I can help everyone achieve better artwork.
Every course is always great fun, book your place on the next one!
There's more info on my workshop page or to a how to get started in in drawing


Don't delay, book today.

Book your place
I'll send you confirmation and details of how to get to my studio. 
Treat yourself, you'll have a great day!

If you've got any questions, please dont hesitate to email me.
