What I'm working on (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

Aside from working on my book, I’ve also been busy painting these four pieces, which will become upcoming Patreon tutorials.

The book is moving along. I’ve now painted two more projects for it, although each one takes quite a long time to complete. I have two paintings left to do, and then I can get started on writing the remainder of the book.

For the green apples, we’ll focus on painting the stripes and creating the soft folds in the tea towel. It looks complicated, but it’s much easier than it appears once we break it down step by step. It was also fairly quick to paint.

The little goldfinch above came about after a few requests for more North American birds. I painted it with a limited palette of just three colours and allowed the paint and water to do much of the work, so it’s a nice painting that shouldn’t take too long to complete.

A snow leopard has been requested many times over the past few years, so I’ve finally painted one! We’ll work with wet on wet washes, creamy paint for the spots and those beautiful pale blue-green eyes.

The pink rose has also been requested quite a few times. I’ve painted roses from this particular bush many times over the years, and I’m very happy to finally turn one into a tutorial. This one was also painted with a limited palette of only three colours.

There’s plenty happening behind the scenes at the moment, and I’m looking forward to sharing all four tutorials with you.
