Whether you're an experienced artist or just beginning your creative journey, Pat’s unique teaching style will inspire you to see and interpret the landscape in a whole new way.

​

This carefully curated experience blends art, history, and adventure, ensuring something for both artists and non-artists alike. With exclusive access to stunning locations, hands-on instruction from a celebrated artist, and time to enjoy the region’s culture and cuisine, this trip is more than just a getaway—it’s an immersion into the beauty, creativity, and inspiration of England’s heartland.

Pat Southern-Pearce: Artist, Instructor, and Traveling Sketcher

Pat Southern-Pearce is an accomplished artist, instructor, and world traveler whose creative journey was greatly shaped by her 5 years of training as a painter at Art School in the UK. An energetic tutor from the Welsh valleys instilled in Pat and her classmates a passion for outdoor sketching in all weather conditions using oils, gouache, and an embrace of creative freedom. Critiques prepared them for experiences like today's Urban Sketchers meet-ups. This strong artistic foundation has led to an impressive career.

​

Pat's sketching style captures the essence and atmosphere of places rather than just lines on paper. She works intuitively across the page, building up organic, balanced compositions that evoke the sense of temperature, energy, brilliant colors, and quietude. After years on white paper, the discovery of toned sketchbooks like Strathmore's greys and Seawhite's kraft tones was revelatory, leading her to explore vivid color papers, prepared backgrounds, and digital mediums. Pat finds inspiration in architectural details, natural scenery, colors, and textures.​

Since 2016, Pat has taught at major Urban Sketchers symposiums globally. With a passion for sketching and documenting the world's vibrancy, she continues living her creative dream through extensive travels, connecting with fellow artists, and endlessly exploring with her sketchbooks.

With a passion for sketching on location and documenting the world's vibrancy through her art, Pat Southern-Pearce continues to live out her creative dream by traveling, teaching, exhibiting, and endlessly exploring with her sketchbooks in hand.
