Climbing Pidurangala rock for the iconic view of Sigiriya is highly recommended, though not for the faint-hearted!

Keeping a journal in Sri Lanka while I was to begin the 'Ocean Breezes' itinerary + extension.

Today's effort in Unawatuna was rained off and unsuccessful. But my day was brightened by a chat with a Jordanian girl proudly wearing her keffiyeh 💕👍
Thanks for following me, Batool! I'd like to return to Jordan one day.

Following on from our week on La Gomera, we had a fabulous time in La Palma. Apart from the appearance of a brand new volcano, I was delighted to see that not much had changed during my 6 year absence.
It's not a beginner's destination for painters, but the group produced some really great stuff!

Just spent a glorious week in the Dolomites updating and expanding the Vistas Sketching Holidays painting itinerary, which involves rolling the two existing trips into one longer one, and now includes travel to/from Verona.
I'm in the process of rewriting the trip, which will appear on the website very soon!

A shout-out to anyone considering a rejuvenating, warming, creative break before deepest winter bites.

There is space on both Sri Lanka itineraries: 'Land of Smiles' 2-week sketching journey and 'Ocean Breezes' 8 day sketching/painting break on the coast, with optional extension. There's only one place left on this trip, so hurry!

Discounts available for two sharing a room.

Fun demonstrating the different qualities of Caran d'Ache media. This one used Neopastel oil pastels and the very fine Luminance coloured pencils.
I didn't quite finish it (more detail to pick out) due to the hungry buyers crowding around the stand!

Tomorrow will mark the half-way point in the new, Inverness-based itinerary, 'Around the Blooming Heather'. Usually this will take place later in the summer - there's not much heather in bloom yet! We have had our share of rain but we've not let it stop us.
Here's how it's going so far:

Part 2... It's been a bit windy the last couple of days,with a full-on sandstorm just as we finished painting, but it added a bit of texture.

When getting ready for bed is a noisy business

Painting in La Gomera is always a wonderful experience. With this returning group, we've added an extra week in La Palma. Sitting even further out in the Atlantic, it's set to be a real adventure. If my willing guinea pigs love it as much as I do, it may become a featured trip. Watch for the photos coming soon, and in the meantime enjoy these perfect blue skies! #lagomera #lapalma #vistassketchingholidays #watercolours #paintingholidays #watercolourpainting #paintingoutside
