Welcome

This is my personal website

For many years I have been running several

tutorial websites designed to help those who are

starting out with their art, and who want to

know more about my speciality, Coloured Pencils,

and the techniques for using them.

Back in September 2019, I decided that the time had come to retire from teaching, and since then I have progressively withdrawn from tutoring residential courses, I have stopped undertaking demonstrations, and - now - I no longer host Coloured Pencil Topics which is acknowledged to be the major coloured pencil teaching website. I founded and have run Topics for the last twelve years. The good news is that Pencil Topics continues and contains over 100 pages of techniques, tutorials and help for new and intermediate artists with a large worldwide readership. The Pencil Topics website has been taken over by a fellow Coloured Pencil enthusiast, Carol Leather, who also lives in the UK. That teaching website has been re-launched with the advantage of improved on-site facilities and includes some old teaching content that had been archived a few years ago and which still attracts readership. Welcome Carol, and every good wish for the future ! In the last pages of that Pencil Topics site, I had a personal collection of my own pictures in a range of different media. As Carol is now running Pencil Topics, it seems only right that my personal pages find a new home. THIS IS THAT NEW HOME

WWW.PENCILTOPICS.CO.UK

The Topics website is probably the largest freely available ( and free to use ) source of Coloured Pencil facts in the world. It is written from a UK point of view and contains tutorials and a wide range of information about how coloured pencils of all types can best be used and the ideal papers to use them on. The site also contains general painting technique information such as perspective and colour mixing. There is a link here direct to the Penciltopics website
