Whenever I need new inspiration, my most powerful strategy is to head outdoors with my art materials.

I have been doing this since I was an aspiring artist in my teens..

Since then, I have taken my 'studio' to wonderful locations such as Iceland, New Mexico, Snowdonia, Patagonia, The Atlas Mountains, The Andes Mountains and many times, locally, in the South Downs National Park, National Trust gardens, and the sea.

​The only problem with this is how to break out of perfectionism...

In this course, I will show you how I do it.

​

And I guarantee you it is much easier to do in the company of others who are attempting the same thing.

​

We will cover all aspects of preparation: what equipment and materials to bring out with you, how to make the work more exciting and help you find inspiration. Most of all, we will be playful and experimental.

This is the perfect course to get you working outside in the landscape, in all weathers.

​

Those working in person with me will paint directly out in the depths of the South Downs National Park, in Brighton, with a base in my garden studio.

​

The work online will equip you to go outdoors wherever you are and experience the landscape near you, as a source of inspiration.

​

Both online and in-person, I will give you tips and suggestions to make your outdoor work interesting and fresh. 

​

You will also get individual feedback and the invaluable opportunity to be part of a group, working on the same task.

​​​

Working in person is, of course, the most rewarding way to learn.

​

It is also easier for me to see you at work directly so that I can offer suggestions. Complementing this with online work will give you the most complete experience, in that we will cover all aspects of preparation and work with the needs of people in different locations.

If you are unable to do all, joining just the one part will still be highly enriching.
