Workshop in Worcestershire
May 2026
Over the weekend of 2nd-3rd of May I hosted a workshop at Waseley Hills Country Park in Worcestershire, where a small group of 10 students drew a robin on a rusty gate.
The workshop focused on my techniques for drawing feathers on the first day, and on the Sunday we drew a section of a rusty gate. It is a subject I am often asked about, and it was nice to be able to pass on my take on how I draw rust. It was also duly noted that a lot of the participants found this the most enjoyable part of the workshop.
My thanks go to my dear friend Kat for overseeing the organisation and venue for what was an enjoyable weekend.
We are hoping to run another one around this time next year so watch this space!
Birds in Art 2019
September 2019
I've just returned from a fantastic trip to Wisconsin.
It was here that the Leigh-Yawkey Woodson Art Museum held its 44th annual Birds in Art exhibition.
If you ever get a chance to go, you really should! It's a great place.
This year, I had the privilege of being named their Master Wildlife Artist for 2019.
It was such an incredible honour to be awarded such a prestigious title when surrounded by other wildlife artists of such incredible talent and skill.
