David Curtis shows you how to paint a variety of magical scenes in oils and paints a glorious day in the Peak District with the last of the winter snow still lying on the ground.
In early spring he travels to the spectacular scenery of Cinque Terre in Italy, five little villages built into the rocks between the sea and the steeply terraced hillsides, where he paints views of the busy streets and harbours with their brightly coloured houses and boats.
