“Welcome to our studio in the Highlands of Scotland. Whether you are a painter, or an art collector; someone who is interested in the world of Elphen Chronicles or a collector of published works; or someone who is simply intrigued by watching an artist at work, we do hope you enjoy peeking over my shoulder as I work away at my easel.

The purpose of this box-set of videos is to share with you the traditional oil painting processes that I exploited to produce this unique Masterworks oil painting ‘Starway to Shimmista’, created specifically for the wraparound jacket for my book, ‘Webstrand, the Tooth Gatherer’. So do please join me on this Starway that takes me from the first drawing out of this oil painting, to the final brush-stroke; all of which was filmed in real-time and most of which is shared in this box-set - available to STREAM via our official accounts on :-

‘Starway to Shimmistra’ is one of the twenty Masterworks oil paintings that chronicle the Elphen Folklore of ‘Webstrand, the Tooth Gatherer’, a collection that took over five years to complete. It depicts the entire journey that Fizz takes across the planet Shimmistra, with her new-found Elphen companion, Webstrand, the Tooth Gatherer and Swarm Leader; from their emergence through the Starway, to the ultimate goal and completion of Webstrand’s assignment, via Arktura and the Jade Lake and, a significant, not to mention momentous, meeting with Starfire, the Elphen Seer.

In addition to these Masterworks oil paintings, which form the basis of my book; I have also completed an extensive portfolio of over one-hundred, story-setting Vignette oil paintings, to accompany the narrative that chronicles this meaningful event, one witnessed by Fizz with life-changing consequences.

For these I developed a technique specifically for this collection, one that is unique to me. These Vignettes were also filmed in real-time, so that we could share the process, along with other behind-the-scenes films; all of which can be found as here on Patreon, as we continue to roll-out new content.

As always, this comes with best wishes from Eileen and myself, not to mention, Sunita and Liza and of course, our Elphen friends, Webstrand and Starfire.”
