Paint brushes for Plein Air Painting

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Artists love brushes! If you are looking for a gift for the artist in your life, or yourself, I have put together a small collection of my favourite brushes for plein air painting. To see/buy the set click the logo below or the button at the end, which will open in a new page, then scroll down and click ADD ALL TO CART. You can also pick and choose the ones you want, I’d recommend getting a few extra of the No. 6 filberts as they are so useful and it’s good to have separate brushes for dark and light colours.

Passing Storm

We had some amazing light under the passing storm clouds last week. Here are a couple of photos taken when I was out painting above the Box Valley in Suffolk.

Below, is a photo of the passing storm clouds that I have pasted to the picture I was painting at the time. You can click on the images to enlarge them. It’s interesting for me to look back and see how they compare. If you look closely you can see the rain drops on the painting.

Ronald Blythe and Victoria Connelly

This week Ronald Blythe, the renowned writer on English country life, turned 90.  Last week we were lucky enough to be invited for tea at his wonderful home in the Stour Valley.  He lives in a 17th century yeoman’s cottage that was previously the home of the painter John Nash.

As a writer Victoria was keen to talk to him about his books and you can read her Interview with Ronald Blythe on her blog.
