This week we’re in for a long one. This is an advanced piece but anyone can take their time here and achieve a great result. This is from Mexico City and is a scene of the shoppers going about the hustle and bustle of town life. A great piece that is over two and half hours long so get a comfy chair or break it into easy segments just like I do here. Enjoy…

This week we’re back painting one of our favourite subjects, a man just going about his everyday life. This time he’s sat in a lovely relaxing pose and has the sunlight glistening over him to create some colourful shadows on our textured paving. This is great practice for keeping things bright and airy, Plus we’ve included a lovely tutorial at the beginning for those that wanted a recap on drawing transfers. Enjoy…

This week we are going local, to me at least. We are painting this great image of "St Annes seafront". This is a great way to see a photo from everyday life turned into a beautiful painting in under an hour, a great loose feel keeps this great for beginners and can be tried several times to see how each one improves if you are wanting more of a challenge. Enjoy...

This week we are “Holding onto your hat” a beautiful photo by Lori Wilson. This gives us great use of colour to create those light areas of the dress and use darker deeper tones in our background to bring our main subject to the forefront. This is a nice quick painting with great results so try it a few times and see how much each version improves…

Something a little different, the week we paint these “Two doves”. This painting relies on crisp detail on the two birds and a warm background showing the heat of the Tenerife sun. Keep you background abstract and your birds with just enough detail and you’ll create something special…

This week we’ve got a nice intermediate level tutorial. Lots of water showing reflection and ripples. The important figure has no facial feature to pain so it simplifies things somewhat. With our water we want to ensure we have some nice movement where the dog is paddling in the water, study the reference well and you won’t go wrong here. Enjoy…

This weeks painting is the first that we filmed in 2025 and we thought we’d start simple again, one figure, and a nice, light and sandy beach as the background. This is only 35 minutes and you can redo this one again and again and see each version improve on the last. Enjoy…

This week we take a break from painting people and focus on this beautiful Clematis that grew in our Garden last year . It makes a prefect botanical subject to paint. But we only use 3 colours, just 3 pigments to create this amazing paining that you’ll be so proud to hang in your house. Enjoy…

This week we’re painting this lovely image of young cyclists next to the Thames. A great light and dark piece that uses the opposing contrast to really draw your eye to very specific areas. Keep your brush nice and loose here and you’ll come out with some great results. Enjoy

This week we are painting one of my idols. This is simply called ‘Bowie”. We have a lot to do in this painting, plenty of wet into wet and ensuring we keep that background dark enough and the face light enough to maintain the highlights. If you do you’ll get a great result and come away with a great painting to really be a talking point on your wall. Happy New Year…

This time we're painting a still life of one of my own photos taken a while ago now but I love the illustrative feel of this painting which is created by the text on the cup and the little logos I’ve kept this time. Take your time on this and you'll get a really vibrant bright result. Enjoy…

Welcome to this weeks tutorial, we’re painting this stunning “Old Ford”. I took this photo quite a while ago now but always loved how the light shines off the various angles and shapes the car gives us, It also gives a lovely stark contrast compared to the softer foliage, This is the painting to really practice your highlights using the white paper to create lighter areas, and even though I don’t do it much n the tutorial, you’ll probably want to lift a fair amount especially if you don’t think if yourself as an expert. Enjoy…
