Outdoors On Location Workshops 2009
Some of our most popular workshops are based outdoors in and around our local area here in Northumberland.

The workshops are based in the Village hall which we use just in case the weather turns against us. With the weather on our side, we will travel out each day to paint locations such as Druridge Bay, Warkworth Castle, The River Coquet and various barns and little hideaways in the immediate area.

New Video Downloads Coming Soon
Just thought we would show you the process on the filming for the downloads. Its not just a case of Brett and I getting a little video camera and nipping to the studio to do a project.

It take loads of planning weeks in advance and then Chris who was the sound engineer for the Tyne Tees TV series, comes in and does all the filming and sound. Then 4 or 5 days editing before Brett does the techno stuff to make it suitable for the website and downloadable. 

So really from first thoughts it can take months to be actually online. We made 3 over 2 days, 2 in watercolours and 1 in acrylics. Keep your eyes peeled because they will be online soon.
