For many years I have enjoyed drawing and painting as a hobby using a variety of mediums: pencil, charcoal, pastel and watercolour. About ten years ago I decided to concentrate on flower painting, and did a distance learning course in botanical illustration, gaining a diploma in 2010. Most of this work has been in watercolour, but recently I have switched to coloured pencils which I find easier to control. As a contrast to this precise discipline I am now taking lessons in oil painting which enables me to branch out into landscapes and still lifes. My aim in all this is to capture the elusive beauty of the moment.
