Books
Painting CalmConnect to nature through the art of watercolour | 2023
Painting Calm is my first book and is all about inspiration, the simple pleasure of starting with watercolour, and allowing space for exploration. It’s an encouraging guide to picking up a brush without pressure, beginning with something simple and letting the paint flow naturally.
For me, it brings together a sense of calm, almost meditative painting, while gently supporting growth and confidence as an artist along the way.
Wild WatercolourConnect to the natural world through the art of painting | 2024
In my second book, Wild Watercolours, I explore more complex subjects, animals, while sharing creative, approachable ways to paint them. The book dives deeper into watercolour techniques while keeping exercises simple and fun. Each project focuses on painting an animal while also introducing a specific technique, so you’re not only learning how it works but also how to apply it practically and creatively in your own paintings.
Painting LandscapesConnect to calm through the beauty of watercolour | 2026
In my third book, Painting Landscapes, I focus on guiding beginners through painting individual elements of nature: water, mountains, trees, and meadows, before bringing them together into harmonious landscape compositions. In this book, my approach moves a little closer to classical painting principles while still keeping the style simple, accessible, and encouraging for beginners.
