Workshops: Richard delivers oil painting workshops and demonstrations in venues around the UK. Known for his easy going delivery, Richard helps you develop your skills and technique at your own pace. Workshops are a great way to learn with other artists, share experiences and achieve together. Please see Richard’s upcoming dates via the dropdown menu.

Richard is happy to receive enquiries for workshop and/or demonstration bookings. Demonstrations are charged at £150 for a typical two hour session and full day workshops (typically 10am-4pm) are charged at £250. Prices include travel costs to venues within a 35 mile radius of Richards studio in Barnsley. Richard is happy to travel further so please do get in touch to discuss your requirements and for a quote.

Private tuition (for ages 16+ only) is a unique way to develop your creative skills on a 1-1 basis with a professional artist. Whilst workshops are brilliant for learning and sharing ideas with other artists, private tuition allows you to really focus on your individual creative journey in a lesson tailor made to you.

Richard’s private lessons take place at his own studio in Barnsley town centre and cover the same themes as his oil painting workshops but additional subject matter can be introduced. For example, if you are a beginner artist Richard can teach you a beginner’s guide to drawing before you develop into oil painting. It really does depend on what you want to do. Richard can cover most subject matter within the realms of Still Life, Landscape and Portraiture. Private lessons are charged at £40 per hour with materials and refreshments provided.

Please fill out the contact form if you require any further information or wish to send an initial enquiry.
