Professional artist and author. I work in oils painting in a contemporary impressionist style. Mostly landscapes and figure studies. I have a number of painting courses both online and workshops for beginners through to intermediate artists.
My publications include books on outdoor painting, how to paint loose and content marketing tips for creative people.
My goal is to help people start painting and encourage them with excellent lessons that they can use for years to come.
