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. 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. 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. Do check out my Workshops page for details of upcoming events, holidays and reviews. 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.

Sketching tutorials on line
Have done two of the modules. Really easy to follow, great pace – so easy to keep up with the sketching and painting. You will be amazed at what you produce. Would recommend to all. I will definitely be doing some more.

It was fantastic, I love her style. I was able to follow along (barely), and got a reasonable sketch at the end.

Thanks Annette another lovely tutorial, really enjoying how you break down urban scenes and looking forward to going out and trying en plein air once the weather improves here in Yorkshire!

Today we drove 2hrs to Capestang for a lesson with Annette Morris. Sketching and watercolor is not my forte but life forces change.
So I sat on a camping chair in the old cobbled street in Capestang and sketched one of the oldest buildings in the area. Annette next to me guiding me, as I pushed through my block of sketching . And I loved every minute .
A beautiful day
Thank you Annette
