Watercolour, 10.5×16″ This is a very peaceful scene. I like the way the bales lean slightly and the tonal variations in the copse of trees and across the field.

Watercolour, 10×6.25″ Maintaining the simplicity of this subject was important, not to paint every ripple or wave but to concentrate solely on the fisherman walking out to his boat.

Watercolour, 5×8″ I love putting on the initial wash, where everything is wet into wet. It’s as satisfying as blocking in the base colours of an oil. The goal with this piece was to ensure that the moored yachts dazzled against the dark background.

Watercolour, 7.5×10″ The contrast between the dark boat against the muted tones of the building and the water offered an interesting subject.

Watercolour, 9.5×11.5″ It was a real treat and privilege to see this settlement roadside as we travelled home from Cornwall last year. The backdrop was equally stunning and I couldn’t wait to get home to start painting again! I took several photo’s as I didn’t know if I would ever be fortunate enough to see

Watercolour, 3.75×6.5″ This was a simple subject but the use of colour and creating the lost and found edges made it a joy to paint.

Watercolour, 6.75×5″ I could have used a touch of artistic licence and perhaps altered the colour of the farrier’s top, but by varying the shades and tones, it is possible to create depth and texture in a painting.

Watercolour, 4×3.75″ The aim of this painting was to create a sense of depth in a small space, using cooler shades in the distance helps to push forward the warmer tones and layering the mist created texture to the subject.

Watercolour, 5×8″ Balancing a cool painting with splashes of warmer colours helps to add interest and a sense of activity.

Watercolour, 5×6″ I try not to be too detailed in my portraits, but to prioritise a likeness and try to capture a sense of their character.
