Judi is delighted to announce that she is holding a 'one off' watercolour exhibition in Ireland, 'EASEL IN THE DITCH,' from 10-18 August 2019. It will be at The Schoolmaster's House, Lissacaha, Schull, West Cork, P81 H363 from 10.30am to 5pm each day. For more information email [email protected] Judi Whitton is a well established painter, author and teacher. She has published three books about painting and has written over 60 articles for The Artist. Her teaching skills are much sought after at home and abroad She has held many successful one man exhibitions, but in recent years she stopped exhibiting to allow more time for her own painting and writing. This new collection consists of 60 to 70 watercolours painted outside on The Mizen Peninsula, West Cork, Ireland over the last ten years. Judi is a passionate en plein air painter well known for her fresh and spontaneous paintings. Having found her subject it is the interpretation which is at the heart of her work. It is not so much about representing what she can see but having something to say about it. ‘Easel in the Ditch’ is her first show in Ireland and her first solo exhibition for 14 years. This is a rare opportunity to see her work. Judi says; “My easel and I have had many adventures in ditches. We’ve weathered ditches with steep sides, ditches with cow pats, ditches full of water and, worst of all, ditches alongside busy roads full of tractors. As I look at the collection of paintings I remember all of the ditches, verges, lay bys and gateways where I ended up in my search for an interesting angle on the chosen subject. I remember all the kind people who appeared and offered us shelter, cups of tea and warmth. I remember all those special wonderful days painting on the Mizen during the last ten years. I do hope you can come and see my ‘one off’ Exhibition ‘Easel in the Ditch’ “ Judi is delighted to announce that she is holding a 'one off' watercolour exhibition, 'EASEL IN THE DITCH,' from 10-18 August 2019. It will be at The Schoolmaster's House, Lissacaha, Schull, West Cork P81 H363 from 10.30am to 5pm each day.

13th Nov. 2015 FULL 28th April 2016 10th Nov. 2016 To book a place please email Josephine Neil [email protected] Tel 01451 844425 I have been overwhelmed with the interest by fellow painters in my recently published book ‘Painting Venice’ and thought it may be helpful to give a Venice news update for the en plein air artist! Just back from two more glorious weeks painting in Venice (Sept and Oct 2015) here are a few observations which may be of interest to any artists planning to set off for this remarkable place.
First of all Venice looks as stunning as ever. The Biennale is in full flight and there are fascinating and unusual sculptures and installations scattered about everywhere. Many of these are held in historic buildings (often with free admission) which aren’t generally open so it is a great opportunity to visit some exciting venues and explore the possibility of new painting opportunities. Once again we travelled down the Grand Canal past the Salute to see if, at last, the scaffolding had been removed from Palazzo Dario. This small stunningly beautiful palace with its marble encrusted façade is much loved by artists. But no, we were disappointed again as the building was still under wraps. However it is clear there is progress as the netting around the building is now fairly flimsy and transparent and you can see most of the façade. You may be able to make a picture of it! It is going to look sensational when it is complete. I just can’t wait! Around the Rialto was a disaster for the painter! One side of the bridge is covered in restoration cladding and the lovely Palazzo Camerlenghi, which is adjacent to the Rialto Bridge and often features in paintings, (See Pic 68 on page 65 of ‘Painting Venice’) has totally disappeared under the renovators shroud. Sadly part of St Marks has been obliterated too. There is scaffolding around the stunning side which faces the Piazzetta San Marco (See Pic 23 on Page 28 of ‘Painting Venice’) but this does not extend across the whole front which faces onto St Mark’s Square. It was a bit busier than usual in the wonderful hidden gem Campiello del Remer (See Page 38 ‘Painting Venice’) with unusually several parties of tourists lead by guides on the day we painted there. However it still is a terrific place for the artist to settle and thoroughly recommended. There is an historic Taverna hidden in a corner of the Campiello And I must finish with news of an absolutely fabulous new ‘find’ which happens to be under cover. My guide book described the inner courtyard of the Casa Goldoni e Museo del Teatro as having an open staircase of ‘exquisite beauty’ so we had to investigate! The nearest Vaporetto stop is S. Toma and the Museum of Goldoni is just around the corner from the Campiello S. Toma. One has to pay to enter the museum but the staff were happy for us to paint there. The subject surpassed all expectations and with few interruptions, a coffee machine and loos it was a day of sheer bliss! Thoroughly recommended. Do let me know how you get on painting in Venice. Happy Painting Judi Judi has been going to Venice every year for a long time and has a great love for this unique city. This book is a personal description of what it is like to paint in the city - where to go , how to go about it, and how to hopefully come away with a painting which captures the enchanement that is Venice.
More details are given in the 'Books' section of the website Judi will be running two workshops in collaboration with The Artist and Leisure Painter magazines at Art Materials Live at the NEC, Birmingham in November.
