Presenting... a little something I've been working on over the last 12 months...

Grand Circle South America is a six-part series available to view exclusively on my YouTube Channel. Part 1: Bristol to Cape Verde is now available, with the five subsequent episodes scheduled to be posted one week apart.

In 2019, I was commissioned to run painting classes on the cruise ship Marco Polo during its epic, 70-day circumnavigation of South America. In this series of six episodes, I will be sharing highlights from this magnificent voyage, punctuated by several timelapse demonstrations of watercolour paintings directly related to the trip.

Join me in part one, as we sail from Bristol to Mindelo in the Cape Verde Islands, stopping off at Lisbon, Madeira and the Canary Islands along the way.

Featuring exclusive footage from the trip and an original soundtrack, this episode also includes a painting of a fishing boat on the beach at Mindelo (the full version of which is available to subscribers of my Online Tuition Service.

The series will be covering the whole of the trip, with highlights including penguins on the Falkland Islands, spectacular views of Rio de Janeiro and the magnificent mountains seen from the Chilean Fjords. Visits to Ecuador and Peru provide the perfect build-up to a transit of The Panama Canal, before heading homeward across the Atlantic, via the Azores.

I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed putting it together!

Peter's blog has undergone a makeover and been relaunched as 'Peter's Travel Blog'.

Previously known as ‘Peter’s Cruise Blog’, it will now encompass all his travels. As always, he will be keeping a record of all his future trips while running painting workshops on cruise ships (even though, with things as they are at the moment in the industry, it's a little uncertain as to when this will happen again – in the meantime, there are vast archives of his previous cruising adventures for those wishing to dig around).

Peter also plans to write up his adventures in his trusty campervan, and to keep a record of his major walks/sketching trips out and about, featuring route maps and downloadable gpx files (for use on Google Maps and Navigation apps.

In Killarney, he enjoys the delights of Muckross Abbey and Torc Waterfall before hiking up the spectacular Gap of Dunloe in Killarney National Park to earn his pint of Guiness.
