I've taught or demonstrated at the Urban Sketchers Symposiums in Singapore in 2015, Manchester in 2016, Chicago in 2017, Porto in 2018, Amsterdam in 2019 and Auckland in 2023.  I've taught workshops and sketched with the Urban Sketchers in many cities of the world, and for art and watercolour societies locally and internationally - I love to travel :-)

In Australia I hope to do some workshops in Melbourne, Hobart and Perth, as well as in and around Sydney.

Demonstration topics include 'Special Effects in Watercolour', 'Colour Mixing' (suitable for all media), 'Mixed media', 'Inky Fingers - Pen, Brush, Ink, Letters and Line'. (looking at the different tools used for drawing and writing over the centuries including lettering and drawing demonstrations), 'Botanicals', 'Plein air Sketching'/'Travel sketching'/Sketching with Watercolour/Urban Sketching.
​

Classes in Watercolour

I run weekly classes in Watercolour in the Lane Cove area on Monday nights and Tuesday mornings. The Tuesday class is via Zoom! I also run special interest groups as requested. I've done a series of workshops for a landscape gardening company and am running another specifically on images from the Greek Islands for another group.
 
I also run occasional workshops for various art shops, societies or groups. See above list. 

Can't come to a class? Consider on-line tutoring!

On-line Tutoring

Need help with something? I am happy to answer questions, but if you need help with something that requires a demonstration with a particular technique, or help with a painting, a palette overhaul, get in touch and I'll see if I can help.
For a comprehensive foundation in watercolour consider my 13-lesson online course Mastering Watercolours.
To learn to draw and sketch from life, consider my 13-lesson online course Travel Sketching.
