Brinscall is a small village situated on a steep hillside opposite the South Western Edge of the West Pennine Moors. The areas location offers the Landscape painter a wide variety of narratives both naturally topographical and manmade, sometimes harmonious and sometimes in conflict. High open moorlands below huge skies, a sea of bright grasses blessed with hidden gems that are waiting for the artist; tumbled field corners, old stone built farms, ancient copses, all with distant views of the Irish Sea. There are a variety of newly planted and ancient beech woodlands each with its tumbling stream at Roddlesworth, White Coppice or Wheelton Plantation. The area has a smattering of old Manors and halls, small hamlets and small villages both pre industrial revolution as well as those built during Lancashire’s industrial revolution. There is plenty to get one’s teeth into.

Short course starts May 2019
I'm looking to start a small landscape painting group –
course. The theme or narrative of the
course would Visual explorations of the Landscapes of the West Pennine Moors
around Brinscall. I believe that we would begin at end of April 2019 until the
summer for a period of about 6-10 weeks.
There will be a maximum of 4-6 people. The group would be participative in
nature and project based. The meeting point would be in my home studio, my
studio at Falcon Mill Bolton, en plein
air in the West Pennines.
To make this happen there are lots of things that I need to
sort out. But the best way for me to
start is for me to begin. My background includes a B Ed Hons and I have years
of experience in working with people in a participative way. I also have many
years of visually exploring landscapes. If your a painter and artist and interested
in joining please email me robartmiller@gmail.com or telephone me on
07841140562.
