Capturing the colours of a life in France, one magical brush stroke at a time
Bonjour - and thank you for visiting my website!
I am a British artist living in the Languedoc area of the south of France.ย From the narrow streets of local villages to the vast panoramas of vineyards, mountains & coastline, this area is an endless source of inspiration for me.ย I have a passion for light and for colour, and I use the wonderful properties of watercolour to create artwork with a unique energy and sense of place.
In addition to developing my own art, I also love teaching, helping and inspiring people to live more creative lives.ย Do check out my Workshops page for details of upcoming events, holidays and reviews.ย As a passionate sketcher and the founder of Urban Sketchers Languedoc, my website also includes details of the regular meetings taking place in the 'real' south of France.

I commissioned Annette to paint portraits of my two dogs as a present for my husband – I was honestly overwhelmed at how she captured their personalities – totally over the moon and wouldnโt hesitate to recommend her art and talent !

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience on the sketching weekend in Paris with Annette Morris. Annette led a well thought out and interesting course. I had not sketched in a long time and was a relative beginner, but I grew and was challenged in a good way during this weekend. The group size was perfect and Annette helped create a cohesive group spirit and a supportive atmosphere. This sketching weekend was a marvelous way to see a city with fresh eyes! Meeting lovely people with the same interests in art was an added bonus.

Fabulous on line art tutorials
Just completed my first module with Annette Morris Art on line. Annette is fabulous tutor, with a lovely relaxed style and I always enjoy sketching along with her. Very highly recommended ….I will certainly be doing more !

Just enjoyed an energetic weekend in Paris sketching with Annette Morris Art . We covered many of the best known landmarks, and managed very brief, longer, and full-length sketching sessions. It was wonderful to concentrate on drawing, without having to think about route-finding, where to eat, and locations for coffee and recuperation, because Annette had that all planned. it was fun to work with like-minded people, and as usual, we all looked at the same thing but saw something completely different. I have ended up with some memorable sketches in themselves, some sketch material to develop, and enough photographs to take me through the winter! I genuinely recommend any session Annette runs as manager: I look forward to another one myself. Brian Stone.
