My Art tutors

Elizabath Baldin.  From nr Reading, Berkshire, and my first art teacher. I have done several workshop days with Liz, who is also a key member of Woodley & Earley Art Group. Prints of her work are sold via several art outlets including John Lewis, and Dunelm, and local art trails and Open Studio days.   Liz also  undertakes private commissions for original art.   In 2025 I treated myself to a commission of Lochranza, on the Isle of Arran, in memory of my parents.  (see below)

Jean Haines.  I have a few of her books, then became a member of Jean's Online art school during 2024-25. I loved her style, since it included NO drawing.... ever.   Her style is atmospheric, and loose. 

Catherine Beale.  She presented at our art group.  Based in Bath I have now attended 2 weekend workshops with Catherine.  Her style is about preserving light by leaving white spaces,  and using bold colours. 

Youtube artists I follow.   Lois Davidson, Karen Rice, Joanne Boon Thomas, Anastasia Mily, Mike Jackson (quirky  houses).

I have enjoyed observing many  artists paint live at our art group, as well as workshops at Woodley and Earley Art Group.  Each offer different approaches to watercolour painting, so often my own art incorporates ideas from several artists.
