The season of outdoor painting days has now ended. I successfully combined the Friday class at Heaton with keen outdoor painters who wanted to book ten weeks of outdoor painting. A format I will be keen to repeat in 2009

The images below show some of the days out and demonstration paintings from past years.

Images from 2008 will be posted on the web site soon.

Each of the venues that will be listed is within a relatively short walking distance from parking to make carrying of equipment as easy as possible.

They all have some toilet facilities relatively close by.

The days start at 10.30am and run through until 4.00pm. I provide demonstrations as to how I might tackle the scene, with individual tuition then offered to the students to help them get the best out of their day's painting.

If the weather forecast is poor for the day I will contact student the night before, that day's painting will then take place at an indoor studio in Heaton Adult Associations art room with painting workshops provided.

Students are advised of the materials they will require and instructions regarding meeting at the venue.

Painters are to provide their own packed lunch and transport to and from the location.

Information regarding the venues location and equipment required is sent to you when you book.
