I am a professional artist, specialising in animals and nature subjects. I have been offering workshops and demonstrations for 3 years. It is important to me that each person who comes to one of my courses feels comfortable and can work at their own pace. The focus is on building up your techniques to allow you to loosen up and paint with confidence. I encourage you to paint straight onto your canvas, without pre-drawing in pencil. We focus on seeing the big shapes first and then getting to the details later - working in layers. I love hearing from my students who are happily taking their painting forward following a workshop and getting great results too. As an artist, I work in oils, acrylics and mixed media. My use of colour can be surprising and quite bright! My rainbow cow painting is on the cover of Artists and Illustrators' March 2023 edition.
