A busy couple of weeks

I spent a lovely few days in the Lake District at the Derwent Pencil Museum at the beginning of the month, where I demonstrated and taught for three days, meeting some lovely people there. We had a fun workshop painting chickens and learning various techniques, all of which feature in my new book to be published very soon! 

If you buy my book from me from my web site on-line, I am giving away with it a FREE blank stencil worth £3 and a Daniel Smith dot card. I can't wait! Its such a lovely book, I am sure you will love it too.

I seem to have had another hectic couple of weeks.

Yesterday it was an early start for me driving to Wales to visit two art groups, in the morning I was demonstrating flower techniques in Torfaen and in the evening, boats and harbours in South Wales. This is one of the paintings I completed in the evening, there was a camera and projector and a hall full with 75 people, so the big screen was very important. It did mean the room was dark and I was lit, so it looks like I am painting in the dark, but I wasn't really!
