My first newsletter of 2026! January seemed to pass me by. I did manage to get some trips out into the countryside in a rare gap in the rain and gather inspiration for a new series of Moor Paintings. Looking forward to the weather drying up so I can get back up there with my sketchbook. I’ve been working with black ink and wash and also with acrylics in sketchbooks to take back to the studio. In fact I’ve based my new block of workshops on the moors and can’t wait to meet up with some of you in the coming months and share some creative inspiration!
I’ve spent quite a bit of time working on my website and finally my online painting tutorials are available to buy and should download automatically when purchased. (always check the junk mail) They are now organised in themes, such as Landscape Tutorials, Seascape Tutorials etc. https://belindareynell.com/product-category/online-tutorials/
An exciting start to the new year at The Cider Press Gallery with a couple of painting sales. Lots more to be found in this fantastic gallery at The Cider Press Center in Totnes. https://ciderpressgallery.co.uk
Also my paintings can be found in Fowey River Gallery in Cornwall https://www.foweyrivergallery.co.uk ,The Wey Gallery in Godalming https://theweygallery.com and of course direct from my website.
Hoping next time I write my newsletter the sun will be shining!
