France is a favourite place to draw and paint.  Especially since there are opportunities to take a 'kitchen sink' approach to art materials if I take the car across the channel!

I got back to drawing and painting - after a very, very long break - in Provence in 1989 and have never looked back.  Many thanks to Jeremy Le Grice, my first tutor, for the advice to enroll for life drawing classes when I got home.  I then studied at Central St Martins in the evening for several years and my skill at drawing all manner of subjects improved enormously as a result.
