New DVD cover

The cover of my latest dvd has been finalised- and here it is!

The painting used for the cover is one of a series of river scenes that I have made based on a local river that I see on daily walks. I have enjoyed watching this scene change with the seasons as the surrounding trees and vegetation reveal or obscure the water. I especially love it in the evening when the sun always gathers its strength at a particular spot, tangled within the branches. Many rooks live in the canopy and as the sun sinks the noise rises. It is very atmospheric. I tried to capture some of this atmosphere in my cover demonstration whilst finding a range of techniques to show you that suit the subject. Other versions of this river are featured in my book ‘Watercolour workshop’ ( Batsford 2018) on pages 90-91.

Experimental Watercolour workshop is available to pre-order from the shop Orders will be sent after publication date of May 1st .
