Excellent work - lucky students being able to watch this picture take shape. Thanks for the Blog posts during the week, its been great to follow your progress and see some of the students work. Well done to everyone.

So jealous of those students! Would love to see you paint a whole painting. This one is beautiful.

I'm late with a comment and everything the other people have commented on I totally agree.
Wish I could be there too as a student and take in all your excellent instructions. I'll just have to dream I'm there. :) Every one of your paintings I've viewed has a certain mood to it and I enjoy this feeling so much. Have a great weekend get some rest.

Dear Julian, so the course is wrapped up and was obviously a success, get some strength for the next crowd!
For us that couldn't attend, its been great to see the pics and gallery, thank you.
The weather should improve from now on, making logistics easier for you and Ruth!

You have just explained why I have been so slow finishing my own paintings. I teach a lot! And joyfully! But it requires a lot of all of our senses as you mentioned!

Hi Julian , yes I have been missing your paintings and I also missed some other details about seeing your students work. Where do I find this ? and yes I'm jealous I can't be there!!
Craig.

PS Take your rest

Painter’s notes

Sorry for the absence of paintings but this week we held the first of our 2013 painting courses and I have been so busy teaching that I have nothing but a few unfinished paintings, tired legs, eyes and brain. Today was the last day and by popular request I painted this demonstration still life (watched by twelve wonderful 'students') as the mistral raged outside.
