Welcome to my YouTube channel!
I'm a professional artist living in Australia. Growing up in England, my fascination with wildlife sparked a lifelong passion for capturing the natural world in paint. This led to a career illustrating nature books, exhibiting my paintings internationally, and eventually becoming a Fellow of the Royal Art Society of NSW and an elected member of the Australian Watercolour Institute.
For more than 25 years, I've taught watercolour to students of all levels and here I want to share a lifetime of experience with this wonderful medium. You'll find demonstrations, tutorials, and practical tips to help you improve your watercolour painting. If you enjoy them, I'd be delighted if you subscribed.
If you'd like to go further, you'll find a link below to my Patreon channel, where free and paid memberships offer exclusive in-depth tutorials, creative inspiration and personal feedback.
I look forward to painting with you.

Many of you have told me these demos have changed the way you approach watercolour, which means a great deal to me.
I’ve just passed 20,000 subscribers, so thank you for being part of this.
I’ll keep focusing on clear, practical demonstrations—helping you simplify what can often feel complicated.
Everyone’s watercolour journey is different, but I hope these posts encourage you to keep exploring, try new directions, and above all, enjoy the process.
