Tuition

I enjoy teaching - especially beginners as I love to share my joy of painting with others. I am registered as a teaching artist with Art Profile.

I am available to give demonstrations or run workshops with Art Groups or Societies within a 50 mile radius of Peterborough. I will travel further by prior arrangement. Please ask for details.

One of my most popular demonstrations is Close-up Large Watercolour Flower paintings. I work on Imperial size Arches paper on an unright easel and use lots of water. I achieve the depth of colour I desire by patiently layering washes of transparent colour.

Lately I have been working with acrylics and exploring the textures that can be created with this medium. Exciting stuff!

I have also been experimenting with the NEW DERWENT INKTENSE BLOCKS and am available to give demonstrations on the use of these.

 

Biography

I am basically self-taught although, over the years, I have attended many workshops and demonstrations and, I might add, have always found something new or of interest. One never ceases to learn.
I have been painting for most of my life and work in nearly all media - I started with oil paints at the age of 11 and have worked my way through - ending with watercolour - I left the most difficult to last. It is also the most challenging (and rewarding) medium.
My love of vibrant colour is reflected in all my pictures.
I am a Professional Associate of the Society for All Artists and as a RSC I also run a weekly art group in Deeping St. James, Lincolnshire.I regularly give demonstrations or workshops to art groups in Lincolnshire or nearby counties.

I will happily take on any commission. - one of my specialities is animal portraits. I can also paint a picture of your house or business premises or undertake portraiture. If you are interested please contact me for further details.

I am a member of The Welland Valley Art Society and the Maxey Art Group.

My work is regularly hung in The Stamford Artists Gallery.Maiden Lane, Stamford.
