During my recent visit to Mogán I was delighted to meet up with members of USk Gran Canaria (thank you @misspatriland for the photos!) 😊 It was an extremely warm day, but I found a shady corner in a small but very busy plaza to do this quick sketch. I discovered later I was sat next to a shrine to Saint Rita of Cascia, patron saint of the impossible! Urban sketching for me is much more than lines and colours on paper - it's an ongoing journey of learning and connection, seeing things differently and finding inspiration from the ordinary. There are endless possibilities for growth and joy - I'm sure St Rita would agree 😉

Tuesdays are Zoom days and today our subject was The Lighthouse. The fun today was all about mixing materials like watercolour, candles and surgical spirit! So many textures and patterns to play with! When it comes to creativity - never stop playing 😊

A quick video I recorded just before we started sketching on Friday ! This was my first trip to Gran Canaria in many years and it brought back several memories of living in the Canary Islands many years ago 😎 We enjoyed a lovely few days filling pages in our sketchbooks, enjoying the weather, food and local culture. So much inspiration! I have plenty of sketches to finish and scan!
This was the first time I have hosted a workshop in this location, but unlikely to be the last 😊
If you’d like to join me for a sketch workshop this year I will be teaching in France April - October - there are several dates in the diary including my springtime in Paris weekend in May 🌸❤️🇫🇷
please message me if you would like any more details or see the link in my bio !

This memory popped up in my photo album today and I can remember the fun I had painting it. 'Born to be Wild!' (Acrylic on paper).
🌟 Wishing you a magnificent Monday! 🌟

Watercolour sketching on location certainly has its challenges! I was so looking forward to sketching at Château de Sériège for #uskweek2024, but .... it started to rain ... a lot!! After an hour or so there was barely any colour left on my paper it had all been washed away... 😬
However all was not lost, the lovely local café was open so it was a fun sketch over coffee instead. My Château sketch may have almost disappeared but it was still a wonderful morning 😊

International Urban Sketchers Week starts today! An annual event 1-7 May to celebrate drawing on location, being part of a community, seeing and experiencing the world from a unique and perhaps new perspective.
For our local meet-up this morning we had a beautiful location, but also and unfortunately as it turned out, non-stop and VERY heavy rain!!! Even so, some of us still showed up and made memories in our sketchbooks (even if very quickly and from inside the car!) 🤣

"Purple Rain" - a favourite painting and sold to a very special home ❤️ The view is based on a main street not far from me in Narbonne, the joy was creating this with a minimal colour palette and lots (and lots) of water. More new works in the pipeline 🤩

Now that this painting has been gifted I can share the photo here 😊 After spending so many hours looking at pictures of this lovely little chap I feel I almost know him! 🐾 It is such an honour to be commissioned to paint someone or somewhere special, but it is even more rewarding and heartwarming to learn that my artwork has touched someone’s life and made their Christmas extra special ♥️

In France it’s a public holiday today and a day of quiet remembrance. This watercolour is the demo piece from my Tuesday Zoom workshop this week - ‘Lest We Forget’.

I was recently contacted by a writer for ‘La Dépêche’ who was compiling an article listing art courses and workshops available across this region of France. A few phone calls later and we found ourselves chatting by the Canal du Midi not far from where I live. I explained a little more about the workshop programme but also my role as an Urban Sketchers volunteer. Thank you Conny for including me in this lovely article 😊

I'm super excited to be participating in this event this weekend 🤩 It looks all set to be an action-packed weekend of sketching and socialising whilst discovering the intercultural city of Strasbourg. I'll also be giving a workshop for Urban Sketchers on Sunday morning! Not only that, but I will finally meet the other members of the @urbansketchers Executive Board in-real-life. We've shared hours and hours of time together in Zoom meetings so it will be wonderful to finally meet in person! 🤗 All the event details are on the webpage https://france.urbansketchers.org/2023/07/rencontre-avec-le-conseil.html Watch this space...!

My latest painting of a very special home has just been hand delivered 😊 Having worked from photo reference it was a real treat for me to see this beautiful house in person 🤩.
I have one commission slot remaining for 2023 - please send me a message if there is a special subject you have in mind I’d be delighted to discuss the options with you!

Phew! Here's my desk after teaching a live online workshop this evening hosted by @shopkeeparty. 'The mission' was to simplify this complex scene of beautiful Roquebrun overlooking the river Orb. Not so easy within a short timescale but I was joined by some wonderful artists and the results I've seen so far are awesome 🤩 Huge thanks to everyone who painted along and registered for the workshop - and John of course for hosting!! Really looking forward to seeing more of the finished sketches on the Facebook post 😊
