Known for his ability to capture atmosphere, light, and the drama of the natural landscape, Peter will share techniques that make plein air painting both approachable and rewarding. Participants will explore composition, brush control, and the art of translating fleeting outdoor moments into luminous watercolours. Whether you’re new to painting or a seasoned artist, you’ll leave with fresh skills, renewed confidence, and a portfolio piece to treasure.
Suitable for all abilities.
15th - 16th August 2026: Art In The Pen, Skipton
Peter will once again be exhibiting/demonstrating at Art in the Pen, a well established and highly regarded art fair that runs each year in Skipton Auction Mart.
The show started out in 2005 as a relatively small number of artists transforming cattle pens into galleries to sell their original work. Today, Art in the Pen has flourished into a sprawling event, with an abundance of creativity and craftsmanship at every turn.
The continued success of Art in the Pen is partly down to its relaxed and friendly environment. The events are a great way for visitors to strike up conversations with our artists and meet other art and craft enthusiasts. Whether you’re a collector or buying for the first time, Art in the Pen provides a wonderful opportunity to discover new, emerging and established talent.

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.
