What a way to kick off 2024. I feel very fortunate to be given the opportunity to teach at an art retreat. It was something I've never done before and was super excited by the prospect of working closely with students over 5 days. Not to mention be surrounded by exquisite landscapes!

It's been a hot minute since I've produced an online course, in fact I haven't released one since Lessons in Layering with Watercolour in 2021. This is largely because in 2022 I had my first bub! And it takes me about a whole year to pull together, research, plan, test, film, edit and launch one of my online courses. I really pride myself on a thoroughly researched and well executed product. There's nothing worse than investing in something like this only to discover it's been filmed on an iPhone or the sound is all muffled or it's just not what you were expecting!

I was sadly unable to attend last night's opening event of Spring Creek: A Collective Response due to having to isolate, I was experiencing some serious FOMO (and cabin fever all at the same time)!

Working in a sketch book is always something I'm trying to improve on. Typically I'm horrendous at keeping any kind of organised 'sketch book', any bit of scrap paper or note page at hand is it and they all fly around my studio loosely. I also have a penchant for the ol' butcher's paper and love to draw up and plan on large sheets. So basically, it's a mess and there's no organisation to it at all. I'm never able to find anything again either.
