Peter has been invited to run painting workshops on the Saga cruise ship ‘Spirit of Adventure’, on the first half of its Grand Voyage to South America sailing from Portsmoouth on the 7th of January, to Callao in Peru.
According to the official blurb...
Embark on the voyage of a lifetime as you circumnavigate South America in search of captivating landscapes, ancient civilisations, and characterful cities…. This is a cruise for the adventurous. After making a memorable Transatlantic crossing, with visits to Gran Canaria and Cape Verde on route, you will arrive in Brazil, a land of natural wonders, rhythm-filled cities, and indigenous folklore. Take in a succession of thriving and vibrant cities: Brazil’s first capital Salvador, samba-fuelled Rio de Janeiro, and Uruguay’s eclectic capital, Montevideo. Enjoy an overnight visit to dynamic Buenos Aires, known as the 'Paris of South America'.
As you continue to cruise south, call at the Argentine city of Puerto Madryn, a new port for Saga Cruises, and enjoy an extended visit to the Falkland Islands, before navigating the southern tip of South America, Cape Horn. Discover the unparalleled wilderness of Patagonia, cruise past the glaciers of Amalia and Brüggen, and admire Chile’s Lake District, with its sapphire-blue lakes and ancient forests. Visit Peru for an overnight stop in Callao, gateway to Lima, and see the colonial architecture of Trujillo from Salaverry.

DVD - New Titles Now Available to Order
How times change. DVDs are making a comeback! Over the past few years, there has been a massive move towards online streaming and Video on Demand, but that trend is changing, with buyers preferring to own physical media. This has prompted a relaunch of Peters DVD titles, with two brand new titles (previously only available 'On Demand'), now available on disc. There will be more - brand new titles - to follow, so watch this space...
In Langdale - Pikes and Tarns, he explores the fells above Great Langdale in the Lake District, and challenges himself to hike to three high tarns (Lingmoor Tarn, Stickle Tarn and Angle Tarn) over three consecutive days. The result is a cinematic journey accompanied by five full watercolour demonstrations.
In Two Becks - Malham and Gordale, Peter explores the area around Malham, in the heart of The Yorkshire Dales, visiting the iconic Malham Cove, its impressive limestone pavement, and then on to the spectacular landscape of Goredale and Gordale Scar. Inspired by his visit he paints two watercolours; Malham Beck, with the dramatic backdrop of the cove lurking in the background and Gordale Beck - a close study of a small, but impressive, waterfall on the walk up to Gordale Scar. All demonstrations are bursting with hints and tips to help watercolour artists of all abilities, from beginner upwards, improve their painting technique.
