Join me on YouTube as I paint this beautiful beginner-friendly autumn lakeside landscape with a simple wet in wet background, a single tree in glorious fall colors, and grasses making up the foreground. Two step, twenty minutes, and a great way of getting warmed up with landscape painting!

Our pumpkins are ripe, flocks of crows have arrived and are cawing in the fields, the bats that live in the barns around us are out hunting before we end our day now that the nights are drawing in, and the lights in the house are a welcome sight as we head back from the studio each evening. Autumn is officially here! I hope you enjoy painting this fall forest scene. The tutorial is ready and waiting on YouTube! Link in bio.

Autumn leaves, seed heads, berries and a spiderweb, all in the gorgeous rich oranges, reds and browns of fall. Join me for this relaxing exploration of watercolor and happenstance as I create a background and then build up this design in watercolor and ink. The tutorial is up on YouTube and the free sketch is on our website. Links in bio.

Welcome to the second Whimsical Wednesday Watercolor tutorial! Today we are spending time with two members of a red squirrel family as they gather up the late summer harvest of acorns and apples, watched over by their friends the birds. This is a simple and relaxing painting which only needs one brush, a few colours and a fine waterproof pen. The drawing is available for free download from our website and the tutorial is now up on YouTube. Links in Instagram bio / Facebook about info. See you there!

I really enjoy painting sunflowers. They’re such happy flowers and they really lend themselves to my loose watercolor style. This time I’ve added a greenfinch and a bee, and used a watercolor graphite pencil for some detailing on the petals. The full real-time tutorial is up on YouTube and the sketch is available free on my website. Links in Instagram Bio / Facebook About info. Come and paint with me!
