Wild West Watercolour by Georgia Mansur

I am really excited and looking forward to teaching once again at the Plein Air Convention in April 2017.

Beautiful and sunny San Diego, California will be the next location for the largest gathering of artists in the world and promises to be vibrant and fun for all, whether you are a raw and nervous beginner or a well-seasoned professional. There truly is something for everyone. The Plein Air Convention is a life-changing event for most to be immersed in such a stimulating and growth-oriented culture of artists that are so supportive and friendly.

Q & A with Santa Barbara Artist Ruth Ellen Hoag

9/11/2015

As an international art educator, I often spend more than 75% of the year on the road and across 7 or 8 countries. Earlier this year, my mixed media workshop was hosted at Ruth Ellen Hoag’s Whistle Stop Art Studio in lovely Santa Barbara, California. I had a chance to chat with her at the end of our weekend.

The Ultimate List of Travel Tips for Your Painting Holiday

25/7/2015

Hello to all my friends from the TGV fast train from Paris to Perpignan France. I arrived from Sydney via Abu Dhabi to Paris on Tuesday and am on my way to teach a workshop in the South of France. It is always a big journey to get from point A to point B when you are crossing time zones, international date lines and battling jetlag but let me tell you its worth it when you finally arrive! PARIS is divine and we are having particularly spectacular warm and glorious weather~ punctuated by the fact that it was Winter in Australia when I left and quite cold and frosty. So now that I am here I will give you some travel tips that may save you some time, money and headaches when you are coming on a painting holiday. I hope my experiences will give you some ideas of what to expect, what to avoid and what to do to make your life simpler.

The Value of Painting with Friends

8/1/2015

The value of painting with friends can not be overestimated ~ it is time well spent in my opinion. I had a great day painting in the Blue Mountains yesterday with my fellow Australian Urban Sketcher friend, Jane Blundell. Perfect temperature for painting outdoors and lots of fun ‘talking shop’. We spent some time enjoying the gorgeous vistas, sitting on the lookouts doing pen and wash sketches and had lunch in the charming village of Blackheath. We moved along to the buzzing little hive of Leura, and sketched along the pretty main street under the shade of the cherry trees in the grassy median strip.
