Painting from yesterday's watercolour demo to Cookham Art Club. I love painting a local scene for art club demos, so this was the centre of their village, and based on a photo from oe of the club members. Painted in an hour and a half with some questions and answers along the way..... It was an exercise in perspective, composition and the importance of values in watercolour. If you are a member of an art club and would like to book me for a demo or paint along experience, please contact me.

2 Practices for my Watercolor Workshop last April and the live painting I did on the day. All about a bit of freedom with the brush and using your imagination to come up with a stormy seascape. Heavy use of viridian green.
Next workshop is August 29th and we are painting a tricky street scene perspective, some figures and some lively shadows. More information at

My latest YouTube video is based on a photo very kindly sent me by one of my Patreon Members. Thanks Sandy! This is Monhegan Island, Maine USA. A couple of lovely timber buildings, small boats and some dramatic shadows. Going for some dark shadows here to contrast with the boats

Watercolour, 15" x 11"
A demo to one of the onsite workshops I ran at the Yeovil Art Group. I always like to think of a theme for any demo, and I believe this one was values in watercolour. So the background light values and then some darker values in the shadows under the boats. One of those lovely little bays around the town of Cadeques.

My effort from my last online workshop I ran in July. Featuring a volcano, a low cloud, some fields and a couple of groups of houses. An exercise in composition, and different edges in watercolour - with a hard edge for example at the top of the cloud and a soft edge at the bottom of the cloud and the transition to the shadow of the cloud on the hill.
You can still take part:

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
Working on contrasts - so I played on the white vehicles in the centre up against a darker background. It can't be just about that going on in the middle. I needed some vertical interest, so on the right I included the pavement, building and some figures melting into the shadows.
Painted on Saunders Waterford, Cold Press, 300 gms.

Laycock, UK, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
One of the last workshops I ran before lockdown in the UK. So over 2 hours we painted a local Lacock scene - this is the top of the village, with about 50 attendees. An exercise in using imagination to help composition with figures and cars into a blank street scene. Plus a good exercise in perspective and values in watercolour.
