Watercolour painting is an absolute joy but many people are put off in the early stages as it can be a tricky medium to work with. Rest assured we have all had many 'watercolour disasters', but with a little help and encouragement you will be surprised at the results we can all achieve.

Why not come along to one of my workshops to find out more.

Hello and welcome to my website.

I am a watercolour painter, based in the village of Warsop in North Nottinghamshire close to Sherwood Forest and the area known as 'The Dukeries'. I have created this site for people to view samples of my paintings and provide contact details together with information on future exhibitions and projects.

Over the years I have painted using a variety of mediums starting with oils and gouache,then acrylics and painting a wide range of subjects often producing pet portraits and drawings on a commissioned basis.

I now paint landscapes using watercolour paints which I have come to enjoy more than any other.

Despite the unforgiving nature of watercolour (mistakes mostly can't be re painted!) the freeflowing loose nature along with the transparent colours and speed of use make watercolour painting a joy, although very challenging and sometimes very frustrating!

Please feel free to browse my website and I welcome any suggestions or comments.(see contacts page for contact details).
