Coming Up

As planned, the exhibition with 3 other awesome artists will be running next week. I hope that you can drop in at some stage over the four days.

Don't forget: 

• I will be opening my studio again before the end of the year. I have tentatively set aside the weekend of 18th and 19th of November, so save the date! More details to come closer to the time.

Store

New products have been added to the store and if you would like to see some of them "in the flesh" make sure you come along to the exhibition as above. As I mentioned earlier, I am no longer able to do free shipping, but keep your eye out for specials and promotions as we head towards Christmas.

Classes & Workshops

Due to a number of things coming up on my end, I will need to suspend next term's classes until week 4, that is the week beginning MOnday October 23. For the same reason, I will be cancelling October's scheduled retreat, but will still be hosting the Gum Blossoms in Watercolour on October 8. There will be some minor changes to the program next term, but generally this is what it will look like. Bookings will be available from the end of the month and as always, let me know if there is something else I can help you with.

Monthly Tip

If you are trying an idea or colours out, you can do a line drawing and photocopy it directly onto watercolour or custom paper. This gives you multiple versions of your drawing that you can then hand colour.

Blog

In this month's blog, I refer to perspective both in terms of how we look at the world, our life and how we can use it to give the illusion of 3 dimensions on a 2 dimensional surface.
