“Everyone who knows me, understands that creating artworks is the very essence of my being. It is a passion that I also love to share with others who wish to take up painting, whether as a pursuit, or as a profession. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to witness the fulfilling effect that creativity has on someone else’s well-being and self-esteem.
You can imagine therefore, how, over the years, both Eileen and I have felt truly privileged to receive news from folk round the world, telling us how meaningful painting has come to be in troubled times. Which is why we have always said that once you’ve picked up a brush to create your first artwork, painting becomes a companion for life.
•As such, we have also, always, felt a responsibility to make my tutorials meaningful.
•That we should aim to provide the essential painting guide.
•One that is based on a structured, step-by-step journey.
•Starting out from the first tentative basic steps, before moving onwards and upwards.
From the outset this was our guiding principle.
It is how my thirteen instructional books were planned and how we structured our online video tutorials from the very beginning (now numbering well over 700 videos, contained within over 70 box-sets).
Our tutorials are not random, they are carefully considered.
We do not simply say “Today we will show you how to paint a flower”, or “Today we will paint a landscape.” For how can someone paint a flower if they do not understand the basics of their painting equipment, or comprehend the myriad techniques and methods that could be exploited, to make their artistic journey as satisfying as it can be?"
We look forward to your company and, as always, send best wishes, from Eileen and myself,”
