About The Workshop

Do more than simply copy what is in front of you. Your photo references are only a starting point. They need not be the finish. Take the next step!

Learn creative approaches to working from references. Discover new ways to add meaning, emotional content and interest to your paintings.

The principles of colour and composition will be covered as you explore ideas and find alternatives to take your work ‘beyond realism’ and give voice to your unique artistic expression.

Bring your own photo references to work from or begin with a reference provided by the Tutor.

Feedback:

I admire Richard for his patience.  He was very encouraging and helped me to identify where I was struggling.  The venue was lovely and I enjoyed the company of the other attendees.’  Heather, February 2017

ABOUT THE PRESENTER:

Richard specialises in teaching and painting with acrylics, helping aspiring artists unlock their creativity and gain the skills to achieve their artistic vision in whatever style they choose to work.

His relaxed and encouraging teaching style is coupled with a sound knowledge of mediums, painting techniques, colour theory and principles of composition and design.
