I demonstrate and teach various mediums, ranging from watercolour, which is my favourite, acrylics, acrylic inks, pastels and various water-soluble pencils. There are different ways of watching a demonstration.Art Shows, Art Society or Club meetings, SKY TV channel 167, Workshops and Holidays, as well as purchasing various DVDs. You can also visit me at my 'Open Studio' in September (details on the News page)My demonstration schedule is at the botton of this page.Art Shows You may have seen me at shows such as the NEC in Birmingham, or Patchings near Nottingham where I concentrate on continual short demonstrations throughout the day, these are intended to inspire people to try something new, or perhaps try a technique they hadn’t considered before. These are small paintings rather than more finished works. Visiting shows gives you the opportunity of meeting me and asking questions as well as watching various techniques. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of painting with others in a lighthearted and informal way and this can be a good way of my meeting you too. You will see me on my own stand although I sometimes demonstrate for The Artist and Leisure Painter magazine on their stand. Art Society or Club Demonstrations If you belong to an Art Society or Club you may be able to watch one of my demonstrations at one of your meetings. During a typical two-hour session I will usually complete two, perhaps three paintings on a general theme or topic, for example, strong tonal contrasts, coastal views or flowers. It’s usually a fun, light hearted with questions and interaction being encouraged. You will need to contact your local Art Society to find out if or when I am demonstrating for them.I demonstrate at many art societies and groups around the country, If you would like me to come to your art group for a presentation, you can either email me, or call me on Tel: 01451 820014 to discuss what would be most appropriate for your group. Demonstrations are designed to take approximately 2 hours including a short break.
