We are now in our 20th year branded as "Watercolour Weekends".  If you are interested in improving your art or want to simply paint or draw in the Hope Valley area ( between Sheffield and Manchester) in the Peak Park, please come and spend a few days, or even a week, drawing and painting in the Peak National Park. We spend equal amounts of time outside as inside the studio. My courses include instruction, mainly in watercolour, pen and ink, drawing with pencil, oil, collage, mixed media and painting in acrylic. 

The Next Watercolour Weekend Course is on Saturday and Sunday 5th and 6th May 2012 at the the Farming Life Centre, Blackwell Hall Farm, Blackwell, Nr Buxton, SK17 9TQ.

We start at 9.30am and work through to 5.00pm, with 45 minutes for lunch where we can review the mornings work and discuss success and deal with any difficulties.  

The fee is £30 per day with a supplement of £20 for those that do not have any materials of their own to use on the course. Please telephone me at home on 01433 621546 or contact me,  Dr Alan Hearsum, on my mobile phone 0796 894 1050 or email at: alanhearsum@btinternet.com

Please don't be put off because there are often no specific dates. I have found in the past when a date isn't popular I have had to cancel a course. If you say when you want to come I can build a course around your needs as well as including local people.
