Who am I?

I live in Keswick in the heart of the English Lake District with my lovely wife Donna, although we are moving to live in Spain from January 2009.

I have painted and drawn for as long as I can remember, and finally turned professional in 2000. I now teach painting to adults every week in various classes, I also enjoy painting in watercolours, acrylics and oils and have recently begun to demonstrate for Derwent Pencils. You can see some of my paintings in the gallery.

I wrote and published the online watercolour course in the Spring of 2005, and in 2006 added the acrylics course. The drawing course was published in 2008.

I believe that anyone can learn to paint if given clear and easy instructions, and I have always tried to motivate and encourage everyone to paint, whatever their ability. Join me on this course and see how you can learn to paint!
