An occasional blog concerned with the world of English Language and Literature. Featuring insights from examiners and past students as well as encouraging and inspiring everyone to pick up a book and get lost in a new world.
I have just returned from the 5 Star Summer School at Bullclough Art School: five days of painting on the moors, being taught by extraordinarily good artists and discovering that ‘loose and expressive’ does not mean ‘do whatever you like and give it an interesting title afterwards’.
This was a weekend painting course inspired by the gardens of Great Dixter. If you’ve never been, imagine colour at full volume. Wild tangles of poppies, calendulas, and dahlias throwing themselves into the light like they’ve got something to prove. Glorious.
Pens down, books away - you’ve done the exams, you’re just waiting for the results. Nothing more to be done. IT’S THE SUMMER!
