I started drawing when I was knee high to a grasshopper but didn’t pick up my first brush until the age of eleven. For many years I have undertaken watercolour, oil, acrylic and graphite commissions and have painted portraits, landscapes and animals. I now paint as a full time artist and have 40 years experience. I love every minute of my work!

My Patreon channel allows me to pass on my passion for watercolours.
I love to teach others the techniques I use to create my wildlife portraits and love even more to see the results that they achieve.
I do much prefer to film myself painting whilst chatting away at the same time, rather than recording a voice over after the painting is done. To me the way I do this gives you the feeling as if you are with me, sat by my side whilst I chat to you showing you what to do.
So painting with all the interruptions including the tractors, makes it even more real and less sterile.

For those of you who are not familiar with Patreon, I've given a brief overview below.  Once again thank you for looking up my page and I look forward to working with you.

Patreon is a subscription based platform; once you are a member you get access to the entire back catalogue of video tutorials  with new content uploaded monthly.

There are 6 levels of subscription depending on what you want. You can change your subscription and your level at any time. The site is in $, but you can subscribe from anywhere in the world. Should you be unsure whether my style of tuition will suit you have a go at painting the robin from start to finish.

Wren Level $5 gives you access to all project photos and drawing guides and a full step by step written guide for the current month’s lesson.  In addition you will get a short video - this may be a specific study or a whole project and includes those already in the back catalogue (note the images with the green $5 symbol).  You will have access to the community support pages, our private Facebook group and a variety of tips and techniques videos too.

Robin Level $10 gives you access to ALL of the above content PLUS a main project video tutorial and a complementary, often botanical, project to go alongside your main paintings.  I explain everything as I paint, I only speed up repetitive sections and I don’t use jargon! Take a look at the back catalogue of projects - you will have instant access to ALL of these.

Meerkat Level $16 gives you access to ALL the above content PLUS optional access to this content via my personal website.  You will be set up as a guest member and receive log in details, this offers an easier way to find the content quickly.  At this level you also get 25% discount off all my previous PDF tutorials.

Kingfisher Level $20 gives you access to ALL of the above content PLUS 1 critique per month.

Barn Owl Level $30 gives you access to ALL of the above content PLUS a monthly mystery gift delivered to your door.

Golden Eagle Level $50 gives you access to ALL of the above content PLUS a limited edition giclée print (1 of 25) taken from the current month's tutorial and my original watercolour painting.

Enough of me - finally, this is what some of my members have to say about my Patreon channel. Come and join them, I look forward to welcoming you to my channel too!
