I have painted seriously in watercolour for a number of years but also experiment in a variety of other media, from chalk pastels to oils and inks. For me watercolour stands out, as it fuels my imagination and frees my senses. At the same time, it can be the most elusive, unpredictable medium with which to work, while also being the most volatile.

I like to use transparent watercolour for its luminosity, but I am not a purist for if the painting requires it, I'll add a bit of chalk or oil pastel, ink or gouache. Whether I am working in my studio or on location, I focus on value first and then colour. I believe value does all the work but color gets all the glory.
