She studied fine art at Norwich School of Art and has spent many years combining her love of painting with her professional equestrian work. There are plenty of hints and tips on getting started, the materials required and how to use colours effectively.

He is learning the principles from how the animals are drawn to think about how to draw other animals that aren’t in the book.

He has many drawings and paintings in collections both nationally and internationally and has demonstrated for most of the top manufacturers in the UK. These creatures never sit still unless they are sleeping, making them a difficult subject to master.If you spend too much time rendering your artwork, the action and expression of a drawing can become stiff.
