The Expressive Pathway Programme

I’ve worked with a number of organisations creating online classes over the years and, whilst I was always proud of the content itself, there was often no real structure or clear pathway for students to follow.

I wanted to create something different. A programme with a clear sense of progression for artists who feel overwhelmed, inconsistent, or unsure what to focus on next.

That’s why I created the Expressive Pathway Programme, launched in January 2026.

A lot of artists think they need more talent or more practice. But often the real issue is that nobody has explained things in a clear order.​

Inside, I teach the same core principles that transformed my own work:

  • drawing and tone

  • colour mixing

  • simplifying shapes

  • edge control

  • water control

  • and how to create paintings that feel looser, clearer and more confident

The programme includes:

  • detailed lessons

  • full projects

  • live Q&As

  • feedback and support

  • a growing course library

  • and a lovely community of artists learning together​

If you’d like to join the next intake on the 12th July 2026 you can add your name to the waiting list by clicking the button below. The doors will be open for 7 days and then they shut again to allow everyone time to settle in. Membership is £49.00 per month and is an annual commitment for the first year. There is a 7 day money back no quibble guarantee if you're not entirely happy with the Programme.

Grab yourself a cuppa, sit down and relax with a few free tutorials that I’ve made over the last few years. Many of these have been created as a result of questions raised by members of my Expressive Pathway Programme. I hope you find them useful 😊
