Short Breaks ~ Paintingwatercolour breaks

Watercolour Painting For All ...with professional Watercolourist, Gordon Lamb

Brush Up Your Painting Skills Or Try Something New. Ideal for those looking for short breaks with a difference, or treat someone special to an exciting opportunity as a gift to mark a special occasion. Qualified as top level Grade 1 Tutor & recently voted best tutor in the Wear Valley, Gordon has over twenty years experience in watercolour painting.

 Born in Fife, Scotland, Gordon Lamb has been painting since boyhood with an interest in colour, rather than in line, and is still inspired by French and Scottish colourists.  He lives in Blanchland, Northumberland with his wife and daughter. Gordon is free ranging in his subject matter and approach.  He works quite rapidly in watercolour, trying to achieve spontaneity and a sense of loose reality.  His subjects are landscape and seascape with abstract influence, still life and portraits.  In all this he tries to capture the spirit and get to the heart where truth is.
