New Hobby, New Year

 

I know it's a little late, but A very happy inspiring new year to you.

We've had some very cold wintery weather here in North Yorkshire, which produced beautiful landscapes and stunning light and skies. It was at times like walking in a winter wonderland.

Having a few hobbies makes this time of year so much easier, I enjoy coming back and getting the watercolours out to do a quick study of what inspired me to put colour to paper.

I've recently taken back up knitting, I started as a child like many do, with my Grandma and Auntie. It's a real joy to pick up the needles, and learn how to use the circular needle to knit Socks. The colours of yarns are simply mind blowing and it is marvellous to connect each hobby together.

If you fancy getting the watercolors out, and would like some gently guidance my online Beginners course could be perfect this winter.

The price for the Online Watercolor Course is $85.00 for USA artists. The course includes six projects all sent by email with written instructions and step by step video. Each project also includes personal feedback for extra guidance and to gain confidence in watercolor painting.

The Beginners course is £70 for all UK inspiring artists for more information 

Buttermere a place to inspire the artist.

 What better place to paint than the Beautiful Buttermere Valley in the English Lake District. It certainly has kept me inspired over the years. Captured in Oils, Pastels and Watercolour. I'm often asked which is my favourite medium and been a Gemini, I can never make my mind up, but love them all.
