Originally built in the 1800’s this beautiful lock and footbridge is buzzing with river life. Working from direct observation we will aim to capture this energy in paint.
The morning session will used to make compositional drawings and small sketches in your preferred medium, and then these can be used to inform paintings which can be completed in the afternoon.

He was awarded the NEAC Drawing Scholarship in 2012, and was elected a member of the NEAC in 2015.
