Testimonials

“It really was a thoroughly great day and the perfect introduction to the mysteries of oil paint.” Vic Burton

“Not only did I learn loads but I had lots of fun as well. Richard is an amazing artist and it felt like he really wanted to help you be your best artist. I came away from the workshop with new skills, great art and a new confidence in myself.” Laura Horrocks-Barlow

“Fabulous workshop with Richard. We have come away with new techniques and some paintings we are really proud of. It’s inspired us to give it a go at home and continue the creativity. Thank you! Jen Bodenham and Missy Shutt-Vine
