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.

Nous avons passé un week-end formidable avec Annette à Bizes Minervois les 17 et 18 octobre : Annette nous a guidées avec fermeté et une grande gentillesse pour des exercices très variés et nous a fait découvrir des techniques nouvelles. merci beaucoup Annettte et à la prochaine fois !

I attended Annette workshop in Beziers this weekend and absolutely loved it. I am a beginner and at first found the painting subjects very challenging. Annette provided a structured method on how to approach the subjects and guided us along the way. It was rewarding to be able to complete the paintings.

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

I’ve already done some of you Etchr Studio classes and learning so much from you. Your use of the color pencils during the first wash is absolute magic!

I attended a Paris weekend earlier this year with Annette Morris Art. It was fantastic, we really explored Paris and captured lots of memories in our sketching. Highly recommended!
