• CrownSmallI will be at the Great British Family Fayre on the 31st August. Why not come along?
    I’ll be with Derwent Pencils, showing off their great products and showing how to draw all sorts of things. To get you in the British Mood, I thought I’d show you how to draw the Crown of England, or a simplified version of it any way… have fun!

  • britishfamilysquerriesNext weekend, on the 31st of August, I will be in Westerham in Kent for the Great British Family Fayre, at Squerries Court. It looks like it should be a great day out.

    I’ll be there with Derwent Pencils showing off their fabulous British drawing materials – Derwent is the only British pencil manufacturer!
    I’ll be showing you how to draw things and explaining about their different products including my favourites: Inktense, Aquatone and Waterbrushes.small-derwent

    The show has been put together by the Bradshaw Family who set themselves the target of using only British products. Come and meet them too and find out how they are getting on, or visit their blog.


  • curiousI’ve started making videos for Curious.com which is a new life-long learning website. YouTube is great, but as a video maker, you have to concentrate on entertainment rather than teaching. Curious.com has the ambition to enable teachers to make a living from their videos.

    Their style and delivery are much more amenable to learning. Follow this link and get $25 of their coins free and try it out and let me know what you think. I’ve seen a lot of this kind of thing but I feel they have got a good system running.
