Perfect painting weather





Four days of super sunny weather.
Autumn colours bursting with sparkle
Reflections barely moving, until a duck swims peacefully by.
Fresh mountain air and  clear brilliant Blue skies
A paint brush in hand and bright primary colours at the ready
Herdwicks smiling, a kingfisher singing  swiftly by and many Robins taking a peak.
The Glenthorne nestled and embraced by the Autumn glow
Cold mornings of frost warming the soft mist magically into sunshine days.
A perfect end to a wonderful year of courses and workshops
Thank you to all the inspiring wonderful artists , old friends and new, that all  make painting in the Lake District such a great experience.
Next year's courses are starting to fill, if you fancy coming along
www.lakelandartcourses.co.uk has the dates and more information

Painting weekend courses, Lake District



The Lake District has inspired artists and poets for centuries, and Grasmere more famously with Mr Wordsworth. To sketch a stream gently flowing or capture reflections on the Lakeshore, is truly inspiring. I love to share beautiful painting locations with inspiring artists and beginners new to this wonderful relaxing hobby.
 I have two painting days coming up at Grasmere and Rydal water, Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th August. These two days will be spent in a small group, painting on location, with lots of demonstrations and gentle guidence. If you fancy a few days gaining inspiration in The beautiful Lake district send me an email for more details lakelandart@hotmail.co.uk

Reviews from 2015 courses at Grasmere
Thoroughly enjoyed painting with you. Everyone in the group spoke very highly of you and really enjoyed the time we had. They were such nice folks to be with as well. Will keep having a go at the watercolours as your enthusiasm has rubbed off!


Just wanted to say how much  I enjoyed our painting days with you at Grasmere. It was good to be with like minded people and to have you there to guide us. We both felt we had learned a lot in a short space of time. We particularly liked your demonstration and our studio session with you. It was helpful to see a painting from start to finish.
Both of us would love to come again. We liked the Glenthorne very much and we really enjoyed meeting you and sharing your love of watercolour. Now all we need to do is practise.
Thanks once again.
