About me

I paint the things on my kitchen shelf: pears, jugs, a kettle, an onion. I set up a few objects by the window, paint them over a few evenings and write down what I saw. The paintings are small. The notes are the part I like best, and they became this series of letters.

The series has a title and a number for every letter, so you can start at the first one and read in order. What I sell is the part that is useful to you: guides and worksheets for setting up and seeing value, a book of my own studies, and two video courses for your first still life and for mixing colour. You do not need a studio. You need a table, a window and three objects.
