I'm delighted to be exhibiting with the Chelmsford Art Society.
The exhibition is open
10.00am to 4.00pm each day.
Free entry.
I am also delighted to have been selected to be part of the
Coast Exhibition,
at the lovely Two Tree Gallery
3 Rectory Grove, Leigh-on-Sea SS9 2HB
As you see it isn't open every day,
but it is well worth a visit.
The Classes
You can view some of the lovely work
recently produced in the classes
Students please note that if you need to contact me in the morning before the class, an email is best, and please send before 9.00am, when I check my emails before leaving home.
I am currently running two classes at Writtle village hall:
Tuesday and Wednesday morning classes.
These are following my usual format, with a varied programme of short projects.
I do not run a 'drop-in' system for these classes,
so if you would like to sign up for a term,
or would like to try a one-off trial class before deciding,
you can contact me here.
Tuesday October 20th.
This will be the final week of the Art Deco project.
Think of the observations we made when looking at the Art Deco posters, and bring something of those ideas into the subject matter you choose. Use any medium of your choice.
This will be the last week before half term. We will discuss the next project, but there will not be a slide show this week.
Wednesday October 21st.
We will be completing the Japanese Art project.
We have seen the various different themes running through Japanese art, so there is a wide choice for you. We observed that some of the work would be best undertaken in watercolour, but your subject matter will help decide your choice of medium.
This will be the last week before half term. We will discuss the next project, but there will not be a slide show this week.

I offer three email watercolour courses:
Just One Brush, More Brushes, and No Brushes.
Each course comprises 8 pdf pages, packed with information, ideas and exercises, with plentiful coloured illustrations.
The courses take the student through a series of steps, exploring the handling of brushes and other implements, and the nature of the paint itself, and encouraging a deeper understanding of the medium.
The exercises allow the student to practice and experiment with different techniques and concepts, meanwhile growing in confidence as they build their skills.
They have been very well received by my students, so I am now happy to offer them more widely.
They are designed to be worked on in order, but in fact each one can be studied on it's own.
Please get in touch if you would like to purchase any of the three courses.
£25.00 each.
I created these Challenges during the Covid lockdowns,
while the classes had to be closed.
I am not posting any new challenges, but they can all be found here,
so help yourself if you feel like having a go.
