Another Fold Market day has arrived...not the glorious sunshine we were hoping for but the British are never put off by grey skies and it has been busy and buzzing as usual. There has been a fantastic selection of edible treats as well as some beautiful creative work for sale. The gallery has been rearranged and the animals have made a welcome return and I have a lovely display of watercolours of the Malverns. So pop on over and have a chat and a browse..!

Finally, some sun and I can get back to doing what I love best, walking. A hike up the Malvern Hills on Bank Holiday Monday was just the thing after a ridiculously cold May. The sketchbooks came out and I was able to paint a few watercolours of the view and enjoy my lovely surroundings. I am very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful parts of the country and to be able to enjoy walking and painting...Join me for a wander round the Fold nature reserve with your sketchbook and we can enjoy the pleasure of painting and drawing in a fabulous setting. This Saturday 9.30-11.30 £10 per session. Just call me to book. 07766 190934 or email mark@markjenkinsart.com.

How wonderful it was this week to welcome my first class of beginners to my workshop at The Fold. We started at the beginning, with learning the fundamentals of sketching...trying out all sorts of techniques including pencil, charcoal and pastels. What a lovely bunch of enthusiastic budding artists. We had lots of fun, chatting and drawing and each participant produced what has to be said, a very accomplished still life. This week we will be exploring painting, using all types of media and I hope to be able to report back with some photos of our efforts. On Saturday we also had a very successful mini canvas workshop using acrylics to create mini masterpieces. Again, this was lots of fun. Hopefully more of that to come in the next few weeks. Please feel free to join me for any of my various workshops - check out the workshop page for more details!
