I hope you’re all safe and well in these interesting times. I have been coasting along in a daze, wondering what time it is, what day it is, and slowly reverting back to my teenage sleep patters or stay up all night and sleep all day. fortunately, now that we can leave the house as […]
In South Shields theres a whole stretch of parks. As the weather was typically British: grey, overcast, probably going to rain, we took shelter in the park under a handy canopy we found. After much deliberation we settled now what we were going to paint. naturally after we had started applying paint to board the […]
British Plein Air Painters has organised a program of paint out days. I managed to attend one in Manchester with the Northern Boys. As it was the only one I could attend, I made a special effort to get there. I have never been to Manchester before so I got totally lost, was late, and […]
I may have mentioned this already, but I’ve got an exhibition coming up. I was invited to join by Stuart Jones. We also met up to do some painting. We went to Sand Haven, North Shields, which has many painting spots to choose from. After a quick mooch around, we picked a scene of the […]
On February half term as I didn’t have life drawing, and Sue didn’t have French, so we went to Blackhall Rocks Beach. As I had work on the morning we got there just as the sun was going down so the light was fantastic! It did disappear fast. I ended up painting from memory more […]
View of Seaton Carew Beach and Hartlepool from North Gare Beach. Sand dunes at North Gare Beach. Last Sunday I had made very sensible, serious adult plans that involved going to the ‘toon to go to the bank, and while I was there seeing an art exhibition. This coincided with the fake spring we had. […]
I have an exhibition coming up in March. It’s quite surreal to have my name in such a ‘letters after their name’ line up. The exhibition was organised by Stuart Jones, who invited me to exhibit. I’ve got all my paintings framed, they’re now safely stored on the wall in the living room until it’s […]
I was watching a youtube video by Stefan Baumann. And the video boils down to: if you want to get better at painting trees…. go paint trees. So that is what I did. I walked out my studio and dragged my stuff with me. I parked in front of a tree I knew would have […]
The weather was amazing. So good I had to keep misting my acrylics on top of having a stay wet palette. We tucked down on the cliffs down the technically closed stairway and didn’t have to many people going on by. There were loads of rock poolers down on the beach. The view I was […]
We went to the same spot again, but it was so windy we had to go down to the beach. We found a sheltered spot and decided what we wanted to paint from that area. There weren’t as many people around, but we still spent a good amount of chatting to people. We learned that […]
