What a lovely morning! Jennifer was such a lovely teacher and made us feel relaxed and enthused to ?have a go?. We enjoyed the informal atmosphere and despite it being a small group, we bounced ideas and shared our work to support us through the techniques. I would definitely recommend to other nervous beginners and we are already booked on our next challenge 😃

ARTISTS
Jude Harrington
Hi, I'm Jude, a Cardiff-based artist and I work in a variety of mediums, including oils, watercolours, acrylics, and pastels. I have a deep passion for painting and love creating pieces that express my emotions and thoughts. An awful lot of blood, sweat and tears (by and large metaphorical), are shed in the process! My education and training in a traditional atelier setting has laid a solid foundation in all genres, from still life to portraiture, via landscapes, seascapes and abstract.

I strive to develop my artistic style and techniques, through studio based work and plein air painting. Living in Wales, I am constantly inspired by the beautiful landscapes and rich culture that surrounds me, as does the rest of the UK, Cornwall is a favourite destination and features in my portfolio. I also accept commissions and teach from my home studio. I also offer painting sessions for children (accompanied by an adult) where they can create an abstract masterpiece whilst learning to express themselves through shape, form and colour.

Jude Harrington is available for private bookings

Tuition in my studio or outdoors, in watercolour, oil and sketching
Availibility -7 days a week, from 10 until 8pm

Title or Location: Twilight in Penarth
I used to live in Penarth, and find it an interesting town by the sea, with lovely shopping, eclectic coffee shops, parks, and of course the wonderful pier. I am also fascinated by the wonderful lamps in Britain and beyond, their history and intricate designs. Hence this lovely lamp, taken from its neighbours, to stand proud and alone, but with the outline of the pier behind to illustrate its context of Penarth.

Chasing the sunset. I'm an artist and mother with a great love of running. Since becoming a mother in 2021, my free time has dwindled into near non-existence. So, when I do get out for a run, I always want to make the most of it. With little time to train, my exercise had been condensed into early mornings and evenings around my boy's sleep times. Despite the less favourable timing this has brought with it the glorious benefit of gorgeous winter sunrises and sunsets across the water.Alon

I usually work with soft pastels and, recently started trying out watercolour. I discovered that although it's an unpredictable medium, I love the soft hues of watercolour washes. I became fascinated with learning the techniques involved with gold leaf embellishment and added just a smidgeon

Bandra Arts Born in Mumbai, I spent my first year of life in an orphanage before being adopted and raised in the UK. Now based in Cardiff, I draw inspiration from my Indian roots and the natural world that surrounds me. My art is a fusion of ancient Indian art techniques and contemporary styles, resulting in vibrant pieces filled with rich colours and intricate details.

Title or Location: Mr Fox
For this 8x10 watercolor painting I used salt on wet paint in the background to give an impression of foliage, and a variety of strong brush strokes in green and blue in the foreground to give the impression of the Fox semi-hidden in grasses. My hope was to convey some of the impish beauty of this elusive woodland creature.

This painting was done en plein air at the Memphis Botanic Garden. I am preparing for an art based tour of Provence during which I hope to complete an entire watercolor sketchbook. The painting was done in an A5 cold press Etchr sketchbook. I look forward to those many hours during which nothing exists but the paint and the view.
