A busy month...Bathurst, NSW

July started out with a great week teaching a 5-day watercolour workshop in Bathurst, NSW. It's run by Art Scene, a terrific art store in Sydney. Up to 25 tutors and a couple of hundred students head to Bathurst twice a year for this Mitchell Summer or Winter Art School.

I taught Mastering Watercolours to a lovely group of participants. They worked very hard to explore their pigments, mix them to create colour wheels, colour charts and then a range of paintings to explore many different watercolour techniques. I'll do it again in January :-)

At the end of the week we had an exhibition of all the students' work arrange by tutor - very impressive.

Then I headed straight home to get on a plane to the UK...

Bath 2016

I really enjoy teaching workshops. Having a full day to explore a specific area of ink drawing, plein air sketching, watercolour, colour mixing or whatever is terrific. Even better is having more days!

I am very excited to be teaching three 5-day watercolour 'bootcamp' workshops in 2016. We'll have the time to take a detailed journey through the ins and outs of pigments and colour choices, colour mixing, different ways to create washes, sketching with watercolour, botanicals and so much more. It will be exhausting but wonderful.

In January and July I'll be teaching at the Mitchell School of Arts in Bathurst. Also in July 2016 I'll run a 5 day workshop in Bath, UK, which will of course include some plein air sketching of the lovely buildings.

Then I'll do some demonstrations in the UK and head to the Urban Sketchers Symposium in Manchester :-)

I am hoping to add more workshops in the US and Canada in September and October.

I keep my website updated with upcoming workshops and demonstrations here.
