Good Morning Britain on ITV… filmed this morning on Mawgan Porth Beach.
What a lovely privilege it was to be part of it… sharing one of my favourite places in Cornwall, along with a few wonderful students and their paintings.
I’ve been teaching on Mawgan Porth Beach for the past 10 years, and in Cornwall for around 20. Before that, I spent 25 years teaching art in private and state schools in Britain and Australia.
Quite a few of you may already know me as the one painting near the bridge in the funny hat… chatting to people as they wander by. If you ever see me there, do come and say hello.
This morning was a lovely chance to share not only the beauty of Mawgan Porth Beach, but also the deeper side of what I teach.
My approach is all about understanding rather than copying. I teach the grammar, spelling and punctuation of art.
We begin with Sketch and the psychology of how we see… move into Perspective and the maths of art… then into Paint, where everything comes together and people begin to see what they’re capable of in a completely new way.
Over the years I’ve had the joy of teaching all ages and abilities… from individuals and families to small groups, schools, companies and team events… in person here in Cornwall, on Zoom, and through my online course.
As well as teaching, I also create original paintings and commissions inspired by Cornwall and beyond… so whether you are looking to learn, to buy a painting, or to commission something full of memory and atmosphere, there are different ways to work with me.
