Paintings and demonstrations

All of my portrait work is produced with oil paints onto canvas and using traditional glaze and impasto techniques, gleaned from the approach of geniuses such as Rembrandt and Titian.

Commissions
I take

commissions on a variety of subjects from people to wildlife

. Most of my work is produced to a reasonably large size and it takes between 4 and 12 weeks to complete a picture. Prices available on request.

Demonstrations and workshops
A typical

demonstration

sees me complete 2 / 3 paintings in order to show the whole painting process. I always give lots of information about tricks and techniques and ensure that the audience is enthused and entertained.

Workshops can help beginners and advanced students and cover portraits, life drawing, still life and oil painting in general

'The works I did using your techniques  have both been accepted in the Equestrian Society exhibition at the Mall Gallery in London. I am thrilled to bits, it is my first attempt!'
Ann Squires

'I painted a picture at a demo using your system and a lady asked if she could buy it?
I was gobsmacked, and she took it straight from the easel dripping wet. Success!!
It was a moment I'll never forget and it's largely down to your willingness to pass on your skill and knowledge.'
