Plein air painting in oils

Level: Intermediate (some experience with oils is useful)

​Wednesday, 30th July 2025

​

Join me at the beautiful Micklems Farm in Berkshire in July, when I will be sharing the joys and pitfalls of painting outdoors with oil paints!

​

We will look at what you need for a successful day; how to pack and transport your equipment; choosing a good spot and subject.

I will explain how I approach my subject and the stages I go through to create my painting.

 

Advice will be given throughout the day as you choose your subject and tackle your own plein air study.

​

​More information and how to book can be found here.

Annual 2025.jpg

Looking back....

In 2021 I was lucky enough to be selected to take part in one of my favourite TV shows, Sky Landscape Artist of the Year. It was a last minute application - I've always thought it would be fun if you were chosen to be one of the 'wild card' artists, who look as though they are having such a good time (even though it does always seem to be raining). 

​

It was quite an experience and although I had a bad case of imposter syndrome, I really enjoyed the whole process; the production team were so friendly and bent over backwards to make the  contestants' experience as positive as they could.

​

It was amazing to reach the final three.
