Katherine

A vineyard or an orchard 🍇

Juliette V

Different kinds of summer hats

Alison Gammon

North Yorkshire moors with purple heather in flower. There are some great photos on the North Yorkshire Moors National Park website! Thank you!

Ellen

I don’t think you’ve done lupine in your flower tutorials yet. If not, I’d love that!

Bec Fowler

A wombat or if you want more colour, a cassowary.

Nicola Archbold

A dovecote with pink climbing rose vines

Kristin

Would love to try some figures on the beach.

Katie Zellonis Otto

Otters holding hands in the water, maybe with a little shell too

Susan Hammitt

In the US August is Fair and Carnival season, so perhaps something from a carnival, or a farmer's market. Or a seaside vacation-clambake or a sandcastle by the water.

Susan Hammitt

An ice cream cone or some other treat from the truck or shop. I know you have done mini's of them, but a full size would be good. Especially with a hand holding it to practice painting hands.

Betsi

Standing stones, like Stonehenge in the fall sunset

Erin Berlin

Paddleboarding on a lake Dog days of summer... lazy dogs on a big porch.

Suzannah Rowley

Clouds or some kind of atmospheric sky please!!! Summer sunset or summer storm?

Robyn Mills

Surfing, sausage sizzling on a bbq, leafy salad greens, haystacks

Jan

A path through wildflowers or a beach with long grasses blowing in a light breeze.

Dee

Cottage sceneries

Melanie Davis

Another bird painting - maybe a nuthatch or a titmouse?

Phyllis

Is there a way to share a photo? Should I put it on discord?

Marie

Somebody shared a sunflower photo on discord, the spiral seed pattern was simply amazing, so how about patterns in nature?

Laura Rumble

How about children playing outside in the sunshine. (I’m not sure if my nephews are going for the world record for parks visited in the school summer holidays but that would seem the theme of the photos I’m being sent!)

Jo navin

Like Katie I'd love a tutorial for Otters holding hands/paws in the water please - so adorable!

Christie P

beach hut/shack w/ surfboards, beach balls, towels

Leah

How about a toile-style illustration similar to the delft tiles from last year?

Diana

How about some Wood Ducks. :)

Carina 🌸

I'm happy you like them! I've shared them.

Nicola Archbold

Also want to add I loved how you painted the RHS logo and the floral garden at Stirling castle. I’d love to learn how to paint flower beds where they are super jam packed with colour and foliage. Maybe like a herbaceous boarder or something? Thanks :)

de Winton Paper co.

ah yes, well we do have a few meadows on youtube that would be a good place to start, and the country garden gate quite recently

Helen Garrett

Hi Harriet, how about 'going large' again? I know it's out of your comfort zone, but was fab!

Emma

I was also going to suggest this - great idea
