Why not tune your cross hatching drawing skills?
I am running a four week drawing course starting on the 30th of April in Jesmond on a Tuesday afternoon. This course aims to help both beginners and those with a little experience of drawing push their drawing skills forward through a deeper understanding of the techniques, value and uses of cross hatching. So why not work on your drawing for a few weeks. It can only increase your skills and dexterity as an artist.
New courses for the summer term
Some of the courses I will be offering after Easter are now up on the site. You can book your place on one of the great courses.
Higham Hall Seascape course
Here is a selection of the work produced by my talented learners at Higham Hall, just before Christmas. I was delighted with their progress and ability to adapt to methods that were quite new to them for painting seas, beaches and mountains.
I am running a similar course in June 2019 at Higham Hall. Look at their website for further details.
Van Gogh course
Two new courses are on offer where Jason shows you how to paint in the style of Monet and Sargent. Here are some examples of students work created on the Van Gogh course I ran before Christmas. Perhaps these will inspire you to pick up a brush and try your hand at painting in the style of Monet or Sargent with Jasons help and guidance.

Sketching holiday in Sicily
We are in the process of organising a sketching holiday to Sicily – Ragusa + Modica, in 2019.
One of the UNESCO listed Baroque towns of south – eastern Sicily, Ragusa is also the principal filming location for the Sicilian detective drama ”Inspector Montalbano’, a TV series that has done wonders for publicising the beauty of this area.

Portfolio sale at the Hearth Art Centre
It was great to meet some old friends as well as new buyers at the Hearth Art Centre yesterday. It’s always a pleasure to show people my art and get such positive feedback about my work. Thanks to everyone who attended and made it a memorable day.
My first cruise with Fred Olson to Norway
Sailing on the Balmoral from North Shields to Norway was an unforgettable experience. I took huge numbers of photographs both with my phone and an SLR. I hope they serve me well as reference material for my art and classes in the coming months. Here are a couple I took with my phone last Friday as we sailed across the North Sea.
