    Walking at Sunset to dusk where I live in Shaftesbury, North Dorset

    I have closed up the Art garden studio and taking a walk along Park walk with beautiful views of the landscape, twinkling lights beneath Shaftesbury hill where I live. You can see the sunset over the Vale of Blackmore and far reaching views of the Wessex ridgeway and Isle of Purbecks in Dorset,

    Feeling the natural habitat of Arne

    I often walk here to see a different landscape of Dorset. They call this area RSPB Arne national nature reserve and it gives me so much inspiration for my watercolours and it’s so different to North Dorset where I live. I have crested many paintings of this beautiful scenery throughout the seasons.

    Being in the Windy pines near Rempstone Forest, Dorset heath

    We have had so many strong winds in the South of England in late Autumn to Winter. I love walking so had to find an area where it was sheltered to do a circular from Hartland moor to Rempstone Forest. This walk was my inspiration for my latest watercolour called “Windy pines”. I didn’t copy the photo, it just shows the area that I get ideas for my paintings.

    Walking for inspiration along the South west coast path of Cornwall

    I am on holiday staying at Lamorna on the South west coast of Cornwall. Boxing Day has been perfect for a winter walk, taking in the pale sun through the silvery grey sky over the beautiful colours of the sea and vegetation.

    Using my filbert brush in a watercolour demonstration

    I’m using one of my favourite brushes called the Filbert made of hogs hair and creating by pressing the paint on for the tree impressions in the forest on wet on wet background. I love this way of developing my watercolours.

    The amazing Jurassic coast, Dorset

    I’ve climbed the Chesil bank to see the wild sea in between the storms and are very inspired by the sunset, moody clouds and colours of the sea. One of my favourite places to be.

    Sunset colours in a watercolour demonstration

    I’m using a Chinese hake and applying the sunset shades on wet paper and randomly placing the colours over the yellow washes wet on wet technique. Then I move the paper tipping the pigments and I love that bit.
