Oil painter
I’m Branko. I paint the coast in oils, and I sell prints, merch, workbooks and two video courses on painting what you see.
A few recent pieces.

About
I have painted for over forty years, mostly outdoors, mostly the same stretch of coast: the cliffs, the harbour and the sea that is never the same colour twice. I worked as a draughtsman until I was fifty and painted on weekends. Since then it has been my work, on windy mornings with a thermos and a folding easel.
I am seventy now and I teach what took me a lifetime to find out. You do not need talent or a studio. You need a few tubes of paint, a board and the patience to look. I film my painting days with a phone on a tripod, and I write a letter every Monday about one picture, what went right and what went wrong.
