About

About me

I paint the sea and the sky in acrylic, in an open-sided studio a short walk from the beach by the village. I paint canoes pulled up on the sand, storm clouds over the lagoon and the pale sky just before the rain. I started with a few tubes of paint and a cheap sketchbook, and I still keep a sky sketchbook to catch each day’s clouds.

I post a painting video every week, numbered like a series, from the first wash to the last highlight. What I sell is the part you can use: a sky sketchbook template, a sea colour guide, brush lists, a studio checklist, a cloud reference pack, printable prints of my paintings, a bundle and two video courses. I do not take commissions. I teach you to paint your own.
