REVIEWS
Teacher very nice, good understanding of art. Level of people attending (9) was total beginner to experienced. Where more time spent with the less experienced. Out of two hours probably had less than 5 minutes one to one tuition for ?26 . Over all a nice and enjoyable morning but I didn't gain much from the experience.

Title or Location: Cave Dale, Castleton.
Having walked along the dale many times, I was interested in the veiw looking back towards the castle and the limestone outcrops guarding the steep hillsides. I simplified all this using strong linear black outlines and blocks of pure colour. My work is conceptual and about the impression I get in my mind and not the realism of a subject.

I live by the sea in Cleethorpes, hence the windswept hair in this picture. It?s painted from a ref photo that is royalty free. The original photo was much bigger, or rather, there was more to it. Her face caught my attention from the start. Time to paint! It?s how I do portraits, from ref photo to movie stills, to life?. to conquer the inspiration.

Painted en plein air from Curbar Edge looking down into the valley towards Curbar Village. The autumn colours were inspiring and became a a key feature of the oil painting on canvas. The vertical format was chosen to enable the rocks either side of the view to frame the scene in a creative way with a repeat pattern of V shapes repeated throughout the design. A bag of gritstone was hung from the easel on a butchers hook to anchor the large canvas and prevent it from blowing away like a sail. The
