San Vincente de la Barquera rocks on the beach with Eucalyptus trees.
The great outcrop of rocks on this amazing #surfersbeach – from the other direction … simple yet complex colours…and hazy spray afternoon light with the typical and tall eucalyptus tree shapes on the shore. Interesting to paint the sand markings of footprints and pitch lines.

Fabulous Art Materials for my Adventure!
Anyone joining me on my trip? I’ve spent the last couple of days packing up for an adventure. About 4 years ago I made my first wet painting carrier from a design shared by the great #pleinair artist I follow @marc_dalessio and I have just repeated the plan (slightly adapted) in a larger scale. I attended a fabulous course by him in 2016 at #TheWelshAcademyArt. I also had a lovely delivery from @jacksons_art to go with my @moleskine sketchbooks and favourite @winsorandnewton #drawingink and #oilpaint . I will be trying out some @jacksons_art #linenboards , #watercolours and @rosemarybrushes for the first time. I am taking the same @seawhiteofbrighton sketchbook that my #royalsocietyofmarineartists entry came from! (So excited to be heading to @mallgalleries later in the Autumn …..I’m very random in how my sketchbooks get filled up!) really looking forward to getting off later today. Who’s coming too?
Different day…
A very different day here…no visitors…no excuse to eat cake!….as I have been updating my website following on from Hampshire Open Studios. However I realised too that I’ve never blogged this …and it’s much less fattening!
I have fresh work available and news about my teaching which is booking fast so DON’T DELAY! kimwhitby.com @st_barbe.org.uk
I’m looking forward to a campervan adventure starting Friday and then new teaching, with #SketchesAndSips starting last Fridays of the month! 7-9pm See my teaching page for details kimwhitby.com

Goodbye and Thank you Hampshire Open Studios 2018….see you in St Barbe?
And so it’s time to turn off the lovely “Georgian- ish blue glass” daylight bulbs, take down the ribbons and call time on #hampshireopenstudios 2018!
An exhausting week for me as I had so many truly interesting – and well informed – visitors to keep me on my toes. A real pleasure to talk with you all and welcome you into my space. Thank you for taking the time to to come and see my work. 🙏
I look forward to renewing my acquaintance with you all in November!
In the few quiet moments during the event I have had a chance to explore sharing my work (with those who couldn’t make it in person) in a virtual way; online and in #timelapse . The time lapses have proved popular – so here is a short clip from a real time video. Which do you prefer?
BOOKING NOW – at St Barbe Gallery and Museum in Lymington (New Forest) for my 5 week Watercolour and Ink course which starts in mid Sept. DON’T MISS OUT! Kim Whitby BEd Hons MA
Also give me 2 or 3 days and my teaching at home will be online – I am especially looking forward to #SketchesAndSips last Fridays of the month!

Royal Society of Marine Artists annual exhibition selection.
Something from much earlier in the year – a barge in Topsham. These two pages from my cartridge sketchbook were the result of a whole batch of other drawings over a couple of days in ink – I just couldn’t seem to capture the bulk of the hull. This was my last attempt and I’m very pleased that it will be hanging on the wall in The Mall Galleries as part of the Royal Society of Marine Artists annual exhibition in September. 😊
Can hardly believe this is really part my life!
Can you believe it? Pinch me please…..It really struck me yesterday as I updated my bio etc, ready for Open Studios, how amazing it is to work in the same building as these fabulous artists …let alone appear as a fellow tutor! Thank you @ArtAcademy and especially #taishanscheirenberg

#Hampshire #OpenStudios #August I collected my brochures today for @hampshire_open_studios I am really pleased to be taking part in this event for my third year…although my openings will be limited to the Bank Holiday weekend…I am really looking forward to meeting you and showing you all my stuff! Things from #Chawton @JaneAustenHouse earlier this year and #LandscapeArtistOfTheYear 2016- last year our Summer was really hectic with lots of secret filming #LAOTY at the same time as HOS!! So I am taking things at a slower pace this year….and even having a little holiday with my husband too! 🏛☀️See you in August 😉

Well – this really is the end of the commission posts. Here are some small versions of the six selected peices- I will let you know if the intended merchandising is realized incorporating them!

All that remains to say is what a special and unique experience it was to work and create in such an influential place….Jane Austen has been my favourite writer since my A levels many years ago. So you can imagine what a great honour it was to be invited to work there.
Many thanks to Hampshire Cultural Trust, Jane Austen’s House Museum and all the lovely staff and volunteers at Chawton. ❤️
I will be opening my studio as part of Hampshire Open Studios in Fareham on August 26,27,28th if you would like to see some of the peices and sketchbooks in real life. All welcome.

February 28th 2017
The last chilly trips to Jane Austen House Museum, with the review and selection from my time here by Hampshire Cultural Trust and the museum in partnership.
I spread all my things out in the education room ….and a few weeks later a final selection of six works was made. These are intended as merchandising starting points….let you know next week what was selected!

How tardy am I posting a whole day late!!! Apologies! – doubtless some clever person at JAHM will know a Jane Austen quote about lateness to properly chastise me with!!
Saturday 18th February
The museum is still closed to the public so I had a solitary trip into the garden today as it was forecast sunny. The photos tell the tale…..

Friday 10th February
Really getting going now with the Bake house and Donkey Carriage (not a cart as I had rudely referred to it before correctly reading the information plaque!)
Whilst drawing the carts 10 wheel spokes I had rather a mathematical challenge to establish the correct number of degrees between each. However the interesting thing is……along with counting the 13 back spokes on the seat and 5 either side of the seat (there’s lots of real maths involved in drawing) ….I discovered that the triangular angles to set out the spokes is mirrored on the triagular decoration on the arrangement of spokes outside the axle. I’ve placed the photos in the wrong order but I think you can work out the spooky relationship – clearly no accident by the carriage maker though.
Very damp cold conditions (it tried to snow too) so drying my watercolour washes was a proper challenge today.
Maybe a bit of off site work required….
I am posting this after a return visit to Chawton this morning this time as a visitor. What a difference two months makes to the weather and garden. Lovely to see you today. 😉

#drawing #ink #PleinAir #trees @nationaltrust
#drawing #ink #PleinAir #trees Enjoying the late sun at one of my local National Trust properties yesterday. I seem to get attracted to trees quite often at the moment and the selection here with autumn colours was beautiful!
I liked this tree especially, as the dark holes in its trunk echoed the dark windows on the end of the building.
Met lots of friendly visitors too! Hello…. if you were one of them.
#LandscapeArtistOfTheYear #excited #nervous #SaveTheDate @SkyArts #StoryVaultFilms @nationaltrust
Save the date guys, to see me take part at the Stowe wildcard heat….and all the other brave competitors -Tuesday 15th November at 8pm on Sky Arts – but I will be watching via Now TV!!
….and all the other heats too of course on Tuesdays at 8pm 🙂
Here’s an Autumn seasonal photo of some outdoor sketches from last year – I’m sure you don’t need a caption to know what the subject is!
#ink #inktober #drawing #selfportrait #LandscapeArtistOfTheYear
I’ve been fiddling about with a self portrait or two – I’m going to take a leaf out of Michael Weller’s book and change my profile picture in a few places. Now people will know what I look like when it’s my turn on TV!……..Looking forward to the next heat of Sky Landscape Artist of the Year at 8pm tonight – my heat is in Stowe …..and I’m a wild card.
#inktober #ink #drawing #SpiceIsland #Portsmouth
Proper fast sketching in Portsmouth yesterday. Here’s just one of them.
#inktober #ink #drawing #HMSVictory #Portsmouth
An old page from my MA sketchbooks for #inktober- from when I drew onboard HMS Victory. The long planks on the deck are fabulous patterns and there are great patches of light, which pour in through the gun ports.
#Fareham #FarehamCreek #ink #drawing #PleinAir
50x150cms approx Fareham Creek (rail bridge view) Ink on paper.
It must have been the first day of Winter yesterday as I worked in my overalls for the first time since the Summer!

So often when I take a commission, it is as a gift – which means to save the surprise, it has to remain off my blog!
I am very happy to have been commissioned locally to mark a business anniversary….it’s not on the wall there yet… I’ll let you know when it is.
#sketchbooks #drawing #painting #watercolour @AshcroftArts @HantsCulture
Sketchbooks…..?
What? Why? How? Where? When?
Answers to these questions, and how to make your own sketchbook from scratch this Saturday !

#drawing #pencil #FastAndSlow #sketchbook #PleinAir
I’ve been really enjoying some drawing out and about lately with a very soft pencil. Sometimes it has to be very quick and at other times you get a bit longer. eg when your models are trapped on the plane!
Included are…..St Katherine’s Dock at night, Waterloo Station entrance at rush hour, view from a window at Premier Inn, rear view on the plane and preparatory sketches for larger pieces.

Lovely chance to draw people in secret 🙂

A few more of this weeks sketches of the magnificent London Plane tree here at Ashcroft Arts Centre…….all except one which I found in a sketchbook from earlier in the year. Can you see which it is?

On view at Ashcroft Arts Centre PV 2nd Sept!
Message me if you’d like to come!
@AshcroftArts @hantsopenstudios #ink LondonPlaneTree #drawing #BIG #Hampshire #PrizeDraw
– A chance to finish yesterday’s drawing, as for once the weather forecast was incorrect and it is actually dry here!!
I didn’t have an opportunity to post a photo at the end of the afternoon yesterday as it looked like the storm was about to strike and I was a bit busy with some more lovely visitors to the Open Studios event here at Ashcroft. Looking forward to meeting more of you today 😀 or Friday, Saturday or Bank Holiday Monday!
Ps. remember to get your free prize draw entry firm signed at each venue you visit for a chance to win £100 to spend on art!!
#ArtistInResidence @AshcroftArts @hantsopenstudios #drawing #painting #LondonPlaneTree
Well my part in this year’s Hampshire Open Studios is about to begin. I will be working at Ashcroft Arts Centre and showing some of my work and sketchbooks….I am showing some recent work from my time at Hampshire Cultural Trust’s site at Burseldon Windmill …..(before exhibiting even more fully at Ashcroft following the Open Studios event). I hope you will come and say hello or even bring your sketchbook and join in with me, whilst I work looking at the fabulous London Plane Tree, situated in front of the venue.
The parking, facilities and a small cafe make it a useful stopping point on your tour of local venues.
We are open 10-4pm all week with different weekend opening. Please check the website listing for full details. See you soon!

#SpiceIslandArtTrail @royalnavalclub @PortsFest @FestivalLee #Portsmouth #Hampshire
Hello to all last year’s mini artists! Can you remember drawing a black and white boat like this? Come and say hello tomorrow; perhaps you could draw another boat?
See everyone tomorrow for a great day, 11-4 pm, Old Portsmouth.
@PortsFest @royalnavalclub #SpiceIslandArtTrail #drawing #ink #Hampshire
Looking forward to this years Spice Island Art Trail in Old Portsmouth !!!! 9 days to go! – and I managed a quick drawing of my venue when we all met for a planning meeting today. Come along and meet me, and my fellow exhibitors in the Royal Naval and Royal Albrt Yatch Club, in Old Portsmouth and join the free trail to the other two venues too. Hope to see you soon!
Take a look at the website for full event details.

Amazingly bright orange poppies. Very difficult to do justice to….but had to have a go 🙂
#SouthwickPark #sketchbook #drawing @DDayMuseumUK
I was lucky to see the original D day landing map, at nearby Southwick Park a few days ago. If you look carefully at the photos I am reflected, and the map is behind me filling the entire wall. Facing the map is a massive oil painting by Norman Wilkinson recalling the scene on the day – but what really caught my eye were the framed up sketches made in his small books at the time (5×7 inches I guess)- I have photos of just two. Hope you can make this all out.
So much history surrounding the map. It was secretly made by Chad Valley, as part of a whole N Europe coastline, and the relevant section not constructed until onsite; whereupon the construction workers were retained at Southwick to preserve the secret location of the exact landing site until the landings had taken place!
#Scotland #drawing #ink #friends #sketchbook #BackFromTheFramer
Some happy Scottish memories back from the framer!
Back from the framer last evening – (well done again Steve) – are these two ink drawings from my sketchbook mounted together; I rather like the double approach which I’ve not done before. They are a gift to some longstanding friends to mark several significant dates in their lives this year, and to thank them for a great time in Scotland last month. ❤️
#Part2 #drawing #PleinAir #Portsmouth #Hampshire
You know how it is when you make lots of work but you don’t get anywhere ….(part2) – Gunwarf Quays, Portsmouth. It’s been one of those weeks!
On a more positive note I think I might now know where I’m heading next 🙂 – artistically – not geographically!
#Part1 #drawing #LeeOnSolent #Hampshire #PleinAir
You know how it is when you make lots of work …but you don’t get anywhere….(part 1)- Lee on Solent. It’s been one of those weeks!
#Portsmouth #trees @visitportsmouth #drawing #ink
55x75cms A drawing today back in Gunwarf Quays, Portsmouth. I’m loving the pollarded trees poking up into the sky.
To make it more fun for myself I left my brushes at home and took a bag of oil painting brushes instead. Luckily they were clean but they were rather stiff!
@strongislanduk @wightlinkferry #Portsmouth #ink #drawing
I’ve been drawing in Portsmouth today. Dull/bright/cloudy/sunny. The joys of working outside in the UK.
@BurseldonMill #Hampshire @HantsCulture #ink #PleinAir @windsorandnewton
A plein air, large (1.5x2metre) ink drawing for today. Up here at Butseldon Windmill it has been quite a challenge to stop everything from blowing away. Who’d have thought they would put a windmill in a windy spot!!
#Wales #watercolour #sketchbooks #Aberaeron
Yesterday I delivered my largest commission so far, (1 metre X 2 metres unframed) home to Wales. A massive thank you from me, to ‘a big supporter of visual artists’. Thank you.
I then started work on something new, but the Welsh weather kept me firmly undercover ☹️
Some really great colours in the mud and silage though 😀
#HMSVictory #Hello #drawing
Hello and thank you to my new followers!
Yesterday I had the chance to go back onboard one of my favourite places that I have had the opportunity to work, but this time sadly no time to draw or paint. So here’s a small section of a much larger ( 1.5m x .75 ) ink drawing to mark the occasion 😍
@AshcroftArts @HantsCulture @BurseldonMill #Hampshire #ink #drawing
55x75cms!
Some people have asked me to add sizes for my work when I blog! So you can see what I’ve been up …to and how big it is.
Fabulous weather today. 😍
#drawing #Hampshire @BurseldonMill @AshcroftArts
I managed a full page drawing at Burseldon Windmill today using Bockingford watercolour paper and ink; the paper is ‘off’ white. The patterns of the shadows from the sail and platform were very striking.
Hello to all the lovely people I met today 🙂
@BursledonMill #windmill #MothersDay #Hampshire
Had a great Mother’s Day drawing session here in Bursledon. Thanks for having me 😃
#Aberaeron #drawing #drizzle
A calm but damp day here in Aberaeron. I’m lucky to be able to be around for the remainder of my Aberaeron exhibition and have enjoyed meeting some visitors already today. I am doing some drawing and painting near by too, so if you visit and would like a chat, drop me a text or call. My business cards have all the details in the exhibition space . I won’t be far. Hope to meet some more visitors soon 🙂
#Arddangosfa #ink #drawing #Aberaeron #Wales
Why is it so hard to get a good drawing photograph – it’s big and much lighter than this photograph shows. I had to pin it to the fence to fit it all in the shot.
Why not come and see it in my Aberaeron exhibition soon?
View my News and Events website page for details.
#Aberaeron #boats #Wales
The boats are all safely out of the harbour for the winter months in Aberaeron, Ceredigion.
I’m not a sailor in anyway, or a marine artist – I just like the shape of boats. This is a 2 page drawing, image aprox 142cm X 47cm. It’s very hard to take a ‘non grey’ photograph of a drawing, so this is a bit dull – it’s much brighter in real life.
