👉I've been drawing and painting nature inspired subjects for over 40 years in various mediums starting with oils, acrylics, charcoal, pastel, and in latter years, watercolour. Birds have interested me in the last 25 years and I have learned many ways to depict them.

I'm a huge fan of John Muir Laws and own his book "The Laws Guide to Drawing Birds". He is brilliant and constantly evolving and finding new ways of approaching these fascinating feathered creatures.

With continuous practice I am also finding new ways of approaching my subjects and am excited to be sharing these techniques with you. If you'd like to see more, drawing and painting techniques, please subscribe and you'll be notified when a new video is uploaded.

I'd love to hear your comments and thoughts...and requests for new videos :-)
