It’s no understatement to say that I’m a little obsessed with drinking good quality loose leaf tea out of fine china teacups… and sketching the experience.

I have an ever-expanding collection and every time I sketch a particular cup I describe it differently.

Teacups are my muse… the subject I use to explore new ideas or simply just to chill out and get lost in the moment. I particularly like exploring wet-in-wet watercolour techniques as well as lost and found edges when I’m sketching teacups.

And I’m very excited to announce that I now have a dedicated Teacups Course
