Watercolour Workshops and Retreats
​ 
Discover the joys of painting in watercolours with my tailored classes. My courses are perfect both for beginners and more experienced painters looking to refine their skills. I provide personalized instruction, demonstration, and hands-on experimentation. Most of my classes are located in the scenic surroundings of North Yorkshire: York, The Howardian Hills, North York Moors - all ideal locations to find inspiration.  

To find out more, please feel free to stop by my studio - upstairs at Wath Court, Hovingham, YO62 4NN. Best to get in touch first, though.

Here is some lovely feedback from previous participants:

 

  • 'The best art workshop I've been to.'

  • 'I came away feeling a sense of hope that I might be able to master watercolour painting and make the kind of work that reflects how I feel about the natural world.'

  • 'It’s the first time I have understood water colour painting. And there was no pressure just pure enjoyment.'

  • 'Yesterday's workshop was brilliant! It felt very relaxed but we learned so much in a short time! ... You were so positive and encouraging and your love of the process shone throughout.'

  • 'Brilliant day – you are as gifted a teacher as an artist!' ​​
