Hi everyone, I've had some great painting adventures this week!

Wildlife Artist of the Year

I was invited to run some watercolour workshops at the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation's Wildlife Artist of the Year exhibition at the Mall Galleries next door to Buckingham Palace! We painted loose watercolour blue tits and achieved a lot in 90 minutes!

It was lovely to have some Patrons attend as well as some guests who'd travelled from Australia and the USA and had timed their holidays perfectly!

Strawberry Hill Flower Festival

The next day I visited the stunning floral installations at Strawberry Hill House in Teddington.

I had been invited off the back of my painting at the RHS flower shows this Summer. I sat down and painted a very dramatic installation based on the Picture of Dorian Gray. Full painting vlog coming soon.

We have this lovely carousel pony tutorial on Tuesday and a Scotland roadtrip vlog on thursday

We have a brand new watercolour challenge! (sweet pea, wild rose and cherry blossom tiers) Painting this lovely apple orchard.

It's in three parts and this first week is all about drawing and painting the base washes.

What a lovely week you've had! I can't wait to get started on painting the apple orchard and carousel horse. 😊

I live near apple orchards and think your painting is so realistic. Love the “ dreamy “ look to it as well.
