Nicholas is a Search Press author and award-winning watercolourist and has been a contributing author to the leading practical art magazine, the Artist,
for over fifteen years. His book Atmospheric Buildings in Watercolour
is out september 2024 and can be pre-ordered on the
Search Press website. He has also co-authored for Walter Foster and Winsor & Newton on various aspects of watercolour and working from life, which is his speciality. Nicholas is well established in the Languedoc where he has previously been an Official Painter to the Office de Tourism Val d’Hérault and has published several popular illustrated books on the region. He is experienced in running workshops including ones for the Office de Tourism, private residential painting holidays, art clubs and the art material shop Cultura. He is very approachable and makes people feel at ease. He will provide encouragement and support in order to help the student produce the best work they can and he is happy to provide individual guidance. Crucially he can see where aspects work within a painting and so can guide you to make real improvements in your watercolour while working in this fantastic setting. The holidays are suitable for all levels and are a semi free style painting holiday designed to help the student in whatever way they wish to work. You can either work closely with Nicholas or, if you prefer a little space, just check in when you want some guidance.
