"I teach a loose approach to painting. Very much 'less is more'. I like to have fun in my lessons and do not hold back when someone is not doing the right thing... In the nicest possible way of course! I certainly give lots of praise too. I try to give students confidence in their ability and believe that you only need basic drawing skills with watercolour. If the paint is properly applied, you will end up with a lovely painting."

Feathers are quick and beautiful to do. I pick them up whenever I see them

Quick self portrait done and the end of the Portraits workshop...everyone did one and were amazed at the results

One of my favourite workshops to give is ’Dogs, Cats and Pets’. They always make wonderful paintings. This is a quick demo on cartridge paper

This is a demo I did for ‘Introduction to Portraits’ workshop

Recent class exercise in composition using various images

'Antlers' is one of my personal favourties at the moment. It combines high contrast with subtlety.
