Watkins Artwork

Had a fabulous morning with @botanicalbeing re-learning the art of screen printing and mixing natural screen printing inks/dyes. This has inspired me to get printing again... it’s been 20years since I produced a series of screen prints.. new challenge ahead! #botanicalprinting #screenprinting #watkinsartwork #mixingink #naturaldyes #natureinspired #vividcolours #textileart #experimentalart #newchallenge #pattern #colour #watchthisspace @ Botanical Being

Today’s Adult art class at Pound Green Art Barn. In just 2 hours you can see how much these paintings are developing! I love the fact that these ladies are all showing their own style through the application of the acrylic paint! #watkinsartwork #poundgreenartbarn #badingham #adultartclasses #animalportrait #animalsofinstagram #hare #elephant #cat #giraffe #acrylicpainting #acryliconcanvas #suffolkartist #teachingartist #learnsomethingnew #makenewfriends @ Watkins Art Classes at Pound Green Art Barn

Another arty Party today... Book now if you want a tailor made Arty Party for your kids.

What a fantastic piece of artwork created & commissioned by the very talented Stephen Watkins! At our request we required a piece of artwork that show cased & incorporated different Cities & Towns from Sheffield, Manchester, Dubai, Sydney to Doha!! Along with organising & the care & attention to framing & wrapping!!! Such a very special present for my Sister-in-law's 50th Birthday..... And she looooooves it!!!

Thank you so much to Stephen & Verity! Xx

We asked for a custom piece of work to be done and Watkins Artwork worked hard to make sure it was exactly how we wanted it. We were delighted with the result!

Verity, it was lovely to meet you and we are so thrilled to finally get a brilliant piece of art. Thanks. Martin & Pia

Thanks for a perfect leaving gift - gorgeous painting of Doha corniche with the modern twist. It was very well received.

Thank you for the amazing service!!! Love it :)

Thank you Verity for the wonderful Classes... Learnt a lot from you....You are a great teacher and an Amazing Painter...Loved each an every class and am sure going to miss them ...once again Thank you!!

Thank you Verity for another wonderful course. I never thought I would enjoy a painting class so much and that I would be pleased with my art! You create a safe place for us to try out new skills and gently guide us as much or as little as we need. Have a great summer and I look forward to more classes next year

Last minute order for leaving gift was handled so swiftly and received in Doha within a few days. Will for sure order again. Such a nice memory to have. Thank You!

I recently ordered a print by post. I received it today, very well packaged and in perfect condition. I'm very happy with my print, so glad to finally get my hands on one as we didn't have time before we left Doha. Thank you!

I have loved Watkins artwork for the past couple of years and never quite got around to buying anything...so now they're leaving I needed to go along! so glad I went along yesterday to the open house...Lovely pieces on display and ended up buying a camel print and a skyline as well as a 2nd skyline as a gift! Their art work is so different to anything else available here! Good luck in your next adventure �

Having brought a few prints for friends that have left Doha (who were thoroughly pleased to receive them) I was gutted when Steve & Verity left Doha too! That’s the end of that then I thought. No more prints for friends that are leaving.



Well after chatting with Verity and looking on the website, I have just received in less than 2 weeks a Watkins Mondrian Doha skyline in perfect condition via the Web and Shop & Ship.



I will definitely be a repeat customer and wish them all the best from the Sandpit!



Mike

Great art work, for your home, or as a memorabilia for your time in Qatar...

Collected my Anis on Blue yesterday ..... oh my goodness ....love him ....wish I had thought to order more. Fantastic.

A great welcoming Open House with some wonderful pieces of work! No pressure to buy & happy for people to just look!! However, the work was far too good to resist!

There will be a huge empty palate in Doha when the next adventure begins!!

A HUGE thanks for the very cool Doha skyline print. The perfect gift - I love it!
