who am I and where do I get my inspiration?
My paintings are influenced and inspired by many things. I have always loved country life and the outdoors. To be out and about watching the landscape change with the seasons, observing the clouds in the sky, the shades of green in the meadow, the twists in the tree, it all really helps to create the knowledge I need to transfer my vision into paintings.
I'm the type of person that gets bored doing the same things over again and that goes for my painting too. So, my styles and subjects are always changing . I bounce around with different ideas as I'm inspired by so many things.
There are so many subjects I want to paint and I love exploring and experimenting with techniques and mixing mediums with my paints. If only I had more time to paint for myself...so much of my time is taken up teaching or preparing classes and workshops. I do love my job and I get a buzz form sharing my knowledge with others. I know only too well how important painting is to me as a hobby and therapy it provides, so if I can help create the same for others, then that's great, it's worth the time I give.

Painting is a Therapy. Good for your mind and soul.
I think the true value of participating in art is often overlooked. The therapeutic benefits far outweigh anything else...painting and painting groups are a life line to many and it is the art of relaxation and stimulation all in one that we benefit from. Painting has been proven to slow down your heart rate whilst stimulating our brains which are both vital attributes to a healthy mind and body whatever your age. My regular groups have become great friendship groups where they discuss the joys and woes of life, have a cuppa and sometimes a cake...oh...and learn to paint too. Painting should always be about enjoyment and satisfaction...oh and a bit of frustration too.
Painting should be fun and lessons should be informative
My motto 'Fun & Informative painting tuition' See the workshops and painting course pages if you fancy giving it a go.
TEACHING PEOPLE TO PAINT
Carol's Art is focused on providing FUN & INFORMATIVE painting tuition through workshops, classes and demonstrations for all ages and abilities
I run weekly classes which are in blocks of ten weeks, occasional workshops and travel to Art Clubs across the Northern Counties, Cumbria and Scottish border regions.
If you are a member of an art club or if you have a few friends that would like to club together for a workshop I can tailor one to suit your requirements and venue whether it be a public building or your own room.
During Lockdown periods my Class and Facebook groups have been set monthly challenges. Its been great to keep everyone motivated and inspired and id like to share some of our productions with you. Im very much and amateur at putting these together but I too have enjoyed the challenge .
