This is a detailed post — grab a coffee. I get asked about this a lot, and it deserves a proper answer. I'm often asked some version of the same question: how do I actually progress in watercolour? ...
A passionate plein air painter.
I sketch the world around me in watercolours, capturing stories of places, journeys, and everyday beauty. Painting outdoors allows me to form a deep connection with the landscapes and people I encounter.
Each year I fill a pile of sketchbooks - these are my most treasured possessions.
A studio painter.
I take the vivid memories from my outside adventures into my studio to create larger watercolours or mixed media works.
Whether representational or abstract, my work reflects my love of wild places, quiet moments, and the passage of time.
A creative enabler.
Helping others capture their memories in colour is one of the greatest joys of my artistic journey. On watercolour art retreats and in workshops I've watched people grow braver, laugh louder, make friends, and fill pages with art they never thought possible. I'm right there alongside them — and it's magic.
I really appreciated your calm, enthusiastic and patient demeanor in your teaching. You nurtured this group from day one on the FB group and upon arrival so that we all already felt like friends. I can't talk you up enough to friends and family. I could not have imagined a more perfect trip other than in my dreams.
