Join Steve Hall and paint in the stunning countryside around Cheddar and the Somerset coastline. Steve is a native of these parts and will introduce you to such delightful painting locations as Priddy Village, Uphill boatyard, the Mendip lakes and the Victorian town of Clevedon with its quaint bandstand and famous pier.

Each day will be spent painting outside at one of these locations where Steve will use his friendly and relaxed approach to help you improve your watercolour painting and create those simple yet dynamic images that he admires in the work of such masters as Edward Seago, Edward Wesson and James Fletcher-Watson. There will be morning and afternoon demonstrations and the opportunity for you to complete at least two pictures under Steve's careful guidance. He will work alongside you and spend as much time as you require helping you to achieve your goals.

Steve's style is one of simplicity, yet based on keen observation of shapes and tonal values. His objective will be to encourage you to capture the scene before you with as little fuss as possible but, at the same time, with awareness of the important shapes and forms that describe the view. By following his advice your work will take on a more dynamic appearance leading to that 'wow' factor that we all seek in our painting.
