Working with oils, students will be encouraged to enjoy the process of painting, to embrace their individual motivational triggers and strengths and to further develop their own “calligraphy”.  The workshop will explore ways for each student to juggle imagination, fact and technical elements to achieve their desired results.  Focusing of warm and cool colours to create atmosphere, distance, drama and mood, enjoying the “process” and feeding the creative instinct.       

I was tutored in the field of portraiture and spent 5 years intensively studying this area. My studies began with tonal realism and progressed into my own interpretation of this style. I have won many awards for my portrait and still life work in oil and pastel and my life drawings, character studies of entertainers and costumed people have been rewarded on numerous occasions

I have painted outdoors for many years and have learned to interpret the landscape in all its moods and seasons. Painting trips have been an important base for my development. There is so much to learn about a given subject surrounded by other artists who all tackle their paintings from completely different perspectives. I paint outdoors at ever opportunity.

The workshops and demonstrations that I offer can be tailor made to suit your society or groups needs but I usually find that the workshops, as listed adequately fill most needs. Two day hands on workshops with a demonstration to begin with and an appraisal session on the last afternoon seem to profit most students the best. But of course that is up to you.
