| A great time had by all at Buttermere painting and drawing...and sharing a joke or three! |
What another great group of art students I have the joy to spend a week with teaching at Higham Hall in September.
Mixing great studio days and inspirational outdoor painting days in different locations around the Lake District close to Higham Hall we had a ball!

Always a favourite painting spot is Buttermere. The journey through Newlands valley (one of my favourite in The Lake District) and a scenic tour on our return past Crummock Water to historical Higham Hall rounded off the day perfectly for just one of our outings. The work everyone did inspired by the location of Buttermere was outstanding.

Mixed media studio days and evening demonstrations packed a lot in to our art week as well and it was thrilling to see how everyone really loved what they were doing by creating yet more great work.

The Grounds at Higham Hall, being a real inspiration in themselves, provided the perfect opportunity for Rachel to use the great weather and paint a lovely contemporary and modern interpretation of the gardens during our great art week.

It wasn't all busy brushes! Between our friendly and relaxing social evening get togethers we had some time out too to explore the wonderful local landscape close to Higham Hall.

A great time had by all with wonderful work created all week at Higham Hall. An absolute joy to teach such a great group in an amazing and unique setting in the unspoilt Western Fells of Cumbria. I hope we all meet again soon!
