I thought it was a great experience! My biggest takeaway was how it is OKAY to slow down as I learned about myself that I rush art. I also learned some new techniques while using my pencil. I will be attending again.

Lenny Lane
With 35 years of experience as a printmaker and graphic designer, I bring strong skills, problem-solving, and a passion for drawing the natural world. I've exhibited in Europe and Canada, including the Calgary Stampede (2017).

My approach is simple: break subjects into basic shapes to understand the overall composition. From there, we refine perspective, scale, and light using different pencil grades and drawing pens. I'll help you understand this process and let you feel more confident about drawing and finding your own style.

Lenny Lane is available for private bookings

Available most weekends 9am - 3pm and some weekday evenings by arrangement 7pm - 9pm. Open for group events (team building, kids, special occassions).

My art "Authenticity"This piece represents my journey of transformation ? a journey of becoming the truest and most authentic version of myself.It is about releasing limiting beliefs, breaking free from old patterns, and leaving behind the masks I once wore to fit expectations and seek acceptance. The act of removing the mask symbolizes letting go of the false identities that no longer serve me and embracing who I truly am.At its heart, this artwork carries a powerful message: be aut

Title or Location: My Favourite Toy
This is Marley, one of my loopy border collies. I managed to take the reference photo for this drawing in one of his quiet moments, while he was hugging his favourite toy and stopping his brother Bob from stealing it! It was a challenge drawing him on pastelmat as I'm not too experienced with it but quiete happy with how he came out! He's drawn in a mix of faber castel polychromos, caran d'ache luminance and some derwent drawing pencils.

Title or Location: Balnagask golf course
I loved this photograph from John Strachan photography and finally got around to painting it in acrylic. I tried to be quite loose with the painting as there was so much detail. in the end I thought the sky looked a bit bare so with the help of Chat GPT I added seagulls to the photo and was then able to paint them into my art work. This painting will be heading for the Aberdeen art show the end of August for sale.

The detailed fur work, delicate whiskers, and colourful floral surroundings were all carefull
