About me
I draw landscapes in pastel, mostly at my kitchen table and sometimes from the back of my truck at dusk. I draw gravel roads that run straight to the edge of the sky, grain elevators beside the tracks and wheat at sunset. I started late, after a long working life, with a cheap box of pastels and a pad of grey paper, and I have not stopped since.
I post a video every week of one drawing, from the first layer to the last. What I sell is the part you can use: a layering guide, lists of colour sets, reference photo packs of roads and farm town buildings, a checklist for paper and pastels, printable prints of my drawings, a bundle, and two video courses that are the heart of this site. I do not take commissions. I teach you to draw your own.
Questions
How do the downloads arrive?
After checkout you receive an email with a download link, and the same link is shown on the confirmation page. The guides and lists are PDFs for A4 or Letter paper, and the reference packs are image files.
Is there merch?
Yes: caps, mugs, tees, totes and prints with my drawings. Each is printed to order and shipped by Printful, and the cost and delivery time show at checkout.
How often does the letter come, and how do I leave?
One every Friday. Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and it works at once.
Which pastels and paper do I need?
A box of twenty-four pastels is plenty, with a pad of tinted paper that has some tooth, a rag and a sheet to rest your hand on. The courses start with what to buy and what to skip.
