Watercolours

I paint on 350 gsm cold pressed watercolour paper, after the painting is dry I press to make paper smooth again.
Gilding is with metal leaf finished with shellac varnish to avoid tarnishing. Available to buy unless stated NFS or sold.

Birds

Sea subjects and other

I paint my watercolours fast and loose using creative watercolour techniques to create an impression of the subject often combining inks and other media, I contrast this with areas of detail if the subject calls for it.
I teach these techniques in my classes.
