There are many stunning locations including the River Barle and valley, the harbour town of Lynmouth which was called 'Little Switzerland' by the Victorians and the villages of Winsford, Withypool and Malmsmead. She is an expert tutor who is fascinated with the use of light, tone and colour in her paintings. She loves painting buildings, street scenes and landscapes and will help you to develop your paintings in this loose expressionistic style with the sense of life and realism. She will demonstrate daily, sometimes with short tips and techniques to get you started and other times her demos will be more detailed pictures where she will explain each step on a step-by-step basis. She will show you the whole process from drawing to completed painting and will explain her techniques and share her thoughts every step of the way. She will then give you plenty of tips and techniques on completing your own paintings with plenty of one-to-one tuition.
