Anne Corless Derwent Ambassador; Artist in Residence/ Art Demonstrator at the "magical" Pencil Museum in Keswick, The Lake District, UK.  November 2017.

Above:  Anne Corless 'Drawing Landscapes' with Derwent & The National Trust, an Art Demonstration hosted online by John Lewis and Partners.  July 2023.

"Had a lovely time doing an online demonstration and a video the following day, showing my art process when drawing and painting a landscape. Our venue? The amazing Rothley Lakehouse in Northumberland...one of the most idyllic places we have ever visited! All in aid of the National Trust Riverlands Conservation project.  We visited twice in 2023; the first trip was to research the house and gardens, the second to teach an online art demonstration followed by filming a video (another art demonstration) the following day.

Derwent has partnered with the National Trust and their Riverlands project to create the Derwent Riverlands Collection of art materials. On this trip I was demonstrating how to use the lovely sketching wallet and the watercolour set.

Thank you to John Lewis & Partners for hosting the live stream and video and to the National Trust for inviting me to this beautiful house. Some of the trees were planted in the 17th century and the lake and grounds were designed by Capability Brown. We did not want to leave...!

And a big thanks to Derwent for inviting me to work on this project."
