Extra Palette Knife Workshop in July!

New Workshop Date I usually do not run my one day workshops during the summer months.   But I have had a good few enquiries for one lately, so I have scheduled a new Palette Knife Workshop for 2nd July, to paint a still life in oils. This workshop booked out so quickly I released two new dates, 16th July and 13th August.   Delighted and surprised at the interest as there are only four spaces left in the 16th July already.   They are booking up so fast.      If you fancy giving it a go, book your [...]

Watch this Month’s Demo in Colour Cube Membership

First Month's Demo in Colour Cube Membership Our first month's painting demo went live at the end of February 2022.   The full instructional video was painting my favourite flower, sweet pea, in a jam jar.   In March we painted blueberries in a bowl and this month's demo was a seascape, painting the view from Red Island over to Shenick and Lambay Island.   A beautiful view from my home town of Skerries, County Dublin.

Self-Portraits in Colour Cube

For the month of August, we have been working on self-portraits in the Colour Cube Membership online course. When I set self-portraits as the August Challenge, there was a sharp intake of breath from all the Colour Cubers!!!   But as we have progressed through the month there have been some amazing portraits painted and everyone so surprised at what they have achieved once they put their minds to it. I think it shows that we sometimes just say we can't do something, but if we try we usually can, and with practice, we might even be good at it! [...]

Lights, Camera, Action

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of working with Jenny from Stand Out Films. She was helping me set up the studio for filming for my new online courses. We had so much to learn about lighting, camera angles and sound. But Jenny made the process run like clockwork. With her help, we managed to get our first course recorded and a few intro videos too. From here on in we are on our own with filming, but we now feel we are more prepared to be able to produce professional videos for future courses. Thanks Jenny for all [...]
