Read what other people have said about past classes, courses and workshops in their testimonials.
In addition to monthly workshops I also teach weekly classes, Private tuition and Courses.
The workshops listed are all suitable for intermediate/advanced levels:-
Intermediate Level: Fairly confident working with watercolour. A basic understanding of theory and techniques used.
Advanced Level: Confident working with watercolour. Excellent drawing skills. A desire to move out of your comfort zone and push the boundaries of working with watercolour and explore ideas.
These workshops are not suitable for complete beginners but if you are interested in a workshop for beginners please get in touch and I will arrange one. Alternatively you can either buy my ebook or join my subscription site both of which will teach you everything you need to know in the comfort of your home and in your own time.

Wednesday 10th November 2021 10am-3/4pm
CHRISTMAS THEMED WORKSHOP. We'll be painting pictures that can either be digitally printed or deliberately painted in card sizes, to use as personal Christmas cards for special friends and family members. Leave the mass-produced cards on the shelves this year. Wednesday 8th December 2021 10am-3/4pm
WINTER SEED HEADS AND BERRIES which can be found in our fields and gardens at this time of the year. Wednesday 12th January 2022 10am-3/4pm WINTER LANDSCAPES perhaps using tissue paper, inks and/or watercolour. Bare-branched trees show their shapes well in winter months. The days are shorter, making night scenes a must to paint at this time of the year. Snow scenes also come to mind during these cold winter months. Wednesday 9th February 2022 10am-3/4pm ANCIENT ARCHITECTURE We are blessed, living in this part of the Country, to have an abundance of medieval buildings to draw inspiration from. Wednesday 9th March 2022 10am-3/4pm SPRING FLOWER WORKSHOP Spring, a chance for new beginnings with fresh greens just showing in the bare earth. Snowdrops, cyclamen and hellebore's, daffodils, primroses, blossom and tulips – colour in abundance, at last. Wednesday 13th April 2022 10am-3/4pm BIRDS, BEES AND OTHER ANIMALS A chance to paint the wildlife surrounding our towns and villages, here in Suffolk. Wednesday 11th May 2022 10am-3/4pm SPRING LANDSCAPES Trees, in particular, although other favourites of mine at this time of year include bluebell woods, lanes lined with Cow Parsley, and Rape fields. Mixing colours, greens, in particular, is a common difficulty but this time of year provides us with a wide range of greens to emulate in paint. The landscape workshops cover the complete process of creating a watercolour landscape with emphasis on planning, drawing, tone, and colour mixing. Wednesday 8th June 2022 10am-3/4pm EXPLORING TEXTURES For example, moss and lichen found in amongst bricks, flints and stonework in parts of buildings or ruins. Wednesday 13th July 2022 10am-3/4pm SUMMER FLOWERS using Brusho and/or watercolour. Brusho® is a brilliantly intense paint which comes in powder form. It's water-based and completely non-toxic but it is very messy (when used as a powder) so we will be working outside! Please wear old clothes or bring something to cover the clothes you’re wearing, like an old shirt …or a boiler suit. Brusho® can also be used in the same way as traditional watercolour when mixed with water and this is not messy. Wednesday 10th August 2022 10am-3/4pm
SUMMER LANDSCAPES (possibly plein air, weather permitting) Last year we went to Hedingham Castle and in 2018, Brundon Mill. Seascapes or holiday destinations could also be included in this month's workshop. Wednesday 14th September 2022 10am-3/4pm THE FLORA AND FORNA OF AUTUMN (it would be nice if we could include a short walk to gather subject matter, weather permitting). Then, using Quink Ink and/or watercolour, we will explore the ditches and verges of Suffolk where mushrooms, blackberries, rose hips and conkers, amongst other things, can be found at this time of year. Wednesday 12th October 2022 10am-3/4pm
AUTUMN LANDSCAPES Another chance to look at trees in detail as the colours change from the greens of summer to hot yellows, oranges and reds of all kinds. This time of year brings bonfires to mind as the leaves are swept and tidied up. |
