Chamonix a truly spectacular painting location.


 It's been a busy week, catching up with emails, starting new students from Canada, Cheshire and North Yorkshire onto the http://www.watercolourcourse.co.uk/ . I had my Wednesday monthly class, 'Composition' was the word of the day, it's a great class everyone is very encouraging and supportive. Wednesday was when my article in 'Leisure painter' came out, It's a pastel demonstration on Grange in Borrowdale.Since then I have been working on the website getting 'French Alps painting holiday' set up, here's a few photo's to tantalise. Really looking forward to painting here with a group of artists, it is wow wee scenery!!! http://www.lakelandartcourses.co.uk/  Did you hear any mention of brush to paper! That's next week, I'm starting with 3rd Online course so need to get some exciting and stimulating new material for this. So watch this space.
