Each flower has its own presence and personality... love this extravagant blossom in a humble little glass caper jar: diva, but a little scrappy.

Portrait Painting Weekend Workshop: January 2026
Lucy Stopford and I will be teaching a weekend portrait-painting workshop in January of 2026 -- come paint with us!
We cover technical and philosophical aspects of painting, with a foundation in colour-mixing and tone alongside emphasis on observation and mark-making.
You'll get live demonstrations from both Lucy and I, as well as plenty of time at your own easel, with opportunities to work from both photo references as well as a live model. Experience is helpful but not required!

Flower Painting Workshop
Besotted by blossoms! I'll happily paint flowers all year long, but I truly love this season when they're all so fresh and sweet and feel like a reward for having successfully mucked through the winter.
I've learned a lot about painting flowers over the past couple of years, and I'm excited to pass on my revelations: colour mixing, mark-making, paint layering, and building an interesting composition will all be part of my next day-long workshop at the studios. Come paint with me!
This 6-hour workshop will take an impressionistic approach to painting flowers, using colour and value to render our subject. I'll give a live demonstration in the morning, and set you to your own compositions in the afternoon. Experience helpful but not required!
Full list of materials sent upon booking.

Dutch Treat
I love black parrot tulips so much that I grew some of my own just so I could paint them. This background isn't William Morris, but is an anonymous fabric swatch I've had forever and have been too precious to use in actual sewing. So I thought I'd paint that, too! The little Dutch windmill vase I found at a charity shop and it felt like a perfect pairing.

Decoration
More sweet cherry blossoms -- this time against a blue William Morris background. I'm fascinated by his story, he studied at Oxford and was quite the polymath: in addition to designing wallpaper and fabric, he was a social activist, a poet, and an aspiring architect. He insisted that art and well-designed interiors were not luxuries, which of course I appreciate.

One and the Same
I am playing around with flowers on patterned backgrounds, challenging myself to make a distinction between the real flower and the flower pattern while keeping both soft and impressionistic.
These are cherry blossoms against a William Morris pattern, because his colours are absolute perfection:

Painting the Face, April 2025
Lucy Stopford and I are teaching another weekend portrait-painting workshop!
A full weekend of portraiture is intensive and challenging, but our approach is suitable for painters at all levels of experience -- we cover technical (and philosophical!) foundations of painting as well as the importance of pushing boundaries and expressive mark-making. It's exhilarating, and I get something new out of it each time.
