This type of sketchbook is larger than my usual traveling sketchbooks, it is a place where I can think in paint. Never intended for sale, purely as a way of working through a potential painting. By making these messy, and sometimes unruly studies, I find out what I am noticing and what interests me, I can also Identify areas that I find complicated and make quick visual notes about the effects of light, which can be fleeting, especially when painting en pleinair.
Portrait commissions can be arranged with the subject of the portrait living anywhere in the world, I can do portrait sittings via SKYPE, a virtual visit to my studio while I make preliminary sketches and get to know the subject of the painting. I can also visit you for sittings in your own home but that does include travel costs. I can work from your photographs but a meeting with the subject, in person or via the internet, is preferable.
Framing can be arranged at an additional cost. Please email me if you would like to commission a portrait.

Screen-shots of some of the frames that I painted for the film Loving Vincent. I spent five months in Poland working on the film and in that time I contributed 788 paintings out of a total of 65,000! I was the only English artist out of 125 artists from all over the world. A fantastic team.
The film is in UK cinemas from October 13 th 2017

After working on the film Loving Vincent, immersed in the brushstrokes and colours of van Gogh, I really enjoy copying his work. The larger paintings in this collection are almost life size, i.e, the size that he painted the originals, they are all created with plenty of impasto brush marks, so the texture of the paint really is highlighted and they look wonderful hanging on a wall.
