Hi there folks, I hope you’re all feeling happy, healthy and well into the swing of 2018 🙂 While on the subject I don’t think it’s too late in the month to take this opportunity in wishing you all a very Happy New Year!
Oh my word how time flies and with the best of intentions the months have swept by since my past blog post. New Year’s Resolution – post updates regularly, something you can hold me to.
Whilst on the subject of Blogs I’ve decided to rename these postings as Newsletters and will be setting up a separate area for Blog posts. These will be more personable and contain tips & techniques, whilst keeping the Newsletters for updates on Workshops, Demonstrations, Original paintings and anything else that comfortably under the newsletter heading.
Moving on…. 
The dates for my Wildlife Art Workshops for 2018 have now been secured and the subjects decided:
Spring – OTTER
Summer – CHEETAH
August – OWL
Winter – POLAR BEAR
For more information and to book your place please see the ‘Workshops’ page of my website: http://kerrynewell.com/workshops/
Note: With the Spring Workshop being only 4 weeks away, I strongly advise booking your place as soon as possible so as not to miss out as places are limited.
While staying on the ‘easel’ subject, I’m pleased and relieved to say that at last I’ve found time to sample a set of coloured pencils, Luminance 6901, sent to me from the Caran d’Ache headquarters in Geneva:
I’m pleased to say that I’m really enjoying trying out this new medium (new to me that is). The materials produced by Caran d’Ache always excel my expectations and these coloured pencils are no exception.
For those of you who know me well will also be aware that I’ve demonstrated their pastel pencils for them since 2011.
If you’d like to know more about their products please check out their UK online store:

Another surprise to the start of 2018 was being invited to be the illustrator of a series of children’s books! After taking time to think about this region of design into which I have hardly dabbled, a thought which I’m assuming lasted a millionth of a second lol, I said yes. And both myself and the author are pleased with my design of the main character. Early days, there’s at least four more mice characters to design plus many other animal characters, backgrounds and settings. So watch this space for more news on this mini adventure.
Okay well I think I’ll leave it at that for now as I need to get back to the easel and get the coloured pencil project completed as I have a new commission waiting in the wings.
So it’s over and out from me for now
Thank you once again for dropping by and following my endeavours
Be blessed
Love & hugs Kerry xXx
