Portrait of Fiona, an iceberg painter in a navy sweater.

About

Hello, I’m Fiona

I paint small oil and acrylic landscapes outdoors in one sitting: the bay, a row of bright houses, a piece of ice on the water. I carry a small box, a folding stool and a bucket, and I paint until the light changes. Then I take what I learned up to my loft studio, above the water, and paint the same view again on a larger canvas.

Every week I post a painting video, from the first marks to the last. What I sell is the part you can use: a kit list for a small painting box, colour palette cards, a guide to painting in the cold, a set of prints, a starter bundle and two video courses, one on painting outdoors and one on ice and water. I do not take commissions. I teach you to paint 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 sheets are PDFs for A4 or Letter paper, and the prints come in two sizes.

Is there merch?

Yes: tees, totes, mugs and prints with my own paintings. 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 Saturday. Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and it works at once.

What do I need to paint outdoors?

A small box or board, a few tubes of oil or acrylic paint, three brushes, a palette knife, a stool and some panels. The kit list and the first lesson say what to buy and what to leave at home.
