Harvest Mice Watercolour Workshop Derby

A little glimpse inside my recent Harvest Mice watercolour workshop at Art in the Park, Derby.

One of my favourite parts of teaching is watching people arrive feeling unsure of their abilities and leave with a painting they're genuinely proud of.

These workshops are designed to be relaxed, supportive and suitable for all abilities, with plenty of step-by-step guidance along the way.

Thank you to everyone who joined me for this lovely morning of painting. It was a joy to see all of your beautiful harvest mice come to life 😊

If you'd like to hear about future workshops, make sure you're following me on Instagram & Facebook for upcoming dates and subjects.

Watercolour sketching and painting

There’s something magical about this time of year — wild grasses swaying, butterflies dancing, bees busy at work.

I’ve been taking slow, mindful walks through nature this season — observing the small details, recording the moments that move me, and soaking up inspiration for my artwork.

Today was all about the butterflies!

Let me know what you’ve been noticing on your own walks — or what season inspires you most. 🌿✨
