Expressive Pathway Programme
A series of guided online courses.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, jumping between tutorials and still not quite getting the results you want, this is for you.
I’ve created The Expressive Pathway to give you a clear order to work in, so you always know what to focus on next. We build the core skills properly, step by step, so that progress feels steady rather than hit and miss.
Inside the programme you’ll build:
-
Clearer drawing and observation
-
Stronger understanding of tone and form
-
Simpler, more confident colour
-
A watercolour process you can rely on
-
Expressive work that still feels solid
This isn’t about copying paintings. It’s about understanding the decisions behind them, so you can make confident choices in your own work.
You’ll also have regular live Q&A sessions and ongoing support in the Inner Circle, so you’re never doing this on your own.
FREE WEBINAR - 6 guiding principles to help you create confident art without the guesswork.!
A free, practical webinar for artists whose work feels haphazard, inconsistent, or unsure of its direction.
For a long time, my work felt hit and miss. What changed it wasn’t talent or more practice, but understanding a small number of core principles in the right order.
In this free webinar, I’ll walk you through the six things that transformed my own work and still underpin everything I teach today. They’re not techniques or step-by-step demos - they’re the foundations that bring clarity and confidence.
I’ve seen these same principles help lots of other artists too. Once people have a clearer framework, things tend to settle down and start to make sense. You can often see it in their work - it feels more confident, more considered, and less like they’re second-guessing every decision. Below are a few examples from artists who’ve used these guidelines in their own way, at different stages and with different subjects.
Towards the end of the session, I’ll also share a way I can help you take this further, for those who’d like more structure and support. There’s no pressure - it’s simply there if it’s useful.

If you’d like to take this further
If the webinar feels helpful and you’d like more structure, I’ve created the Expressive Pathway Programme to support you as you apply these ideas in your own work.
It’s a calm, step-by-step programme designed to take the guesswork out of learning and help your work feel clearer and more confident over time.
