I was privileged to teach a wonderful group of sketchers last week in Andalucia. We spent seven beautiful days capturing the scenes of this wonderful region. Thank you to Louisa for the amazing organisation and corralling. Thank you also to the amazing enthusiasm and passion of the attendees, hope to see you all soon! .painter.writer
