Drawing boats has long been a mini ambition of mine. Many times I’ve visualised the process of wanting to capture their distinctive shapes and bright colours on a page. Keen to put this ambition into action I went to Beadnall, on the Northumberland coast. With sketchbook in hand, I found a vantage point overlooking the harbour and began to draw; putting into practice what I saw in my mind’s eye.

This autumn, in partnership with local Amersham home emporium Jack & Atticus, I’ve begun an exciting series of in person BRIGHT Art Workshops. Taking place within J&A’s beautiful new Buckinghamshire studio I’m sharing my own artists’ tips, favourite materials and playful approach to art.
