New Tutorial ‘Misty Blue’
Fancy some quick loose florals?
Drop by The Academy and give it a go!

The reflection of light and the small incidental details that offer the viewer an insight to the texture of the image are all important. Do the big stuff but don’t forget the little stuff too!

The Red Door at Christmas time invites us in

The glow allows us to gain warmth from the cold

and to paint it in our fun loose way!

enjoy Your Journey…Always!

Just keep things simple, when you feel yourself over thinking the painting take a break and imagine the finished painting as you want it to be then you will have a marker to aim for and not just little steps

A Christmas fire place  getting ready for Santas visit… a great image for our Christmas season!

Here is the initial loose sketch for you to follow and the finished loose painting…so over to you guys to do

I just wanted to try a quick floral before heading in to town, no real plan,

but it came out quite nicely…you never know where the journey takes you

…so just try!

A day trip turned into a quick stop in a lay-by for a spot of Plein air looseness!

Try not to let the environment take over, traffic, cold all manner of things….just paint and enjoy the freedom

We have a new tutorial arrived in our Sketchbook Christmas Challenge section ‘Dark Berries’ a great one to give a go!

A fun if somewhat cold Plein air painting session in the heart of the english countryside. The key is speed both to keep the flow going and to kit warm too…give it a try you may just love it!

A quick 25 minutes fly past of
this gorgeous family estate near Hull.
Even better on the inside!

Another outdoor moment! Choose your spot and settle in. Make yourself consider the time and keep things moving! Around 20 minutes then get a cup of tea…or stronger))

It was little cold and the light was fading fast…so time for some quick loose!

It take a little time to acclimatise to the out door style but give your selves some time to settle in and feel at ease
