Mastering Color Chapter 3


I'm on a roll! Shortly after completing chapter 2 last week I had a wee accident on my scooter. I had been intending to do some paintings for a local exhibition, but I found I couldn't hold a paintbrush at all, but I could still push a mouse, so I got to work on chapter 3… Continue

How to paint footprints in sand?


Summer Lacey asked me how to paint those little indents and footprints in the sand.

Here's some of what I wrote back...

I had someone who sent me a link to this viewing software: http://www.prvsoft.com/movie-player.html
This allows you to slow down some of the detail painting in the sand in… Continue

Hi Richard! - Fancy getting a message from you! - The master himself! Lol!

The paintings I'm doing at the moment are glazed, using oils. - I'm trying to be methodical, and get to know each painting style thoroughly, before I move onto the next. I finished the third lot of these classes last night. - The next one will be ala prima photo realism. Then I'll be doing plein air a la you!

- I wish there were more hours in the day and I could paint using all three styles and be an expert in all of them in one day!!!

I find your paintings SO inspiring and your painting and DVD totally changed my life, as I think I'd told you previously. - I've now done a massive 180 degree turn! There's no turning back now!......

Thankyou for looking at my painting. - I'll have to check to see what I've posted. I have quite a few WIPs, though they're not paintined in 'your' style, so I don't know if they count!

Keep up your wonderful work/play :)

Let me know if you do come down this way - I'm a trustee of a community gallery in Christchurch and would be able to organise a workshop for you.

Hi Richard - not sure what all these gift things are - but Paypal will have nothing to do with me.

Hi Richard, I haven't actually seen any of your work apart from a newspaper cutting of what looked like Sumner beach in Christchurch - which I kept - because I loved the picture, the colours and the reflections of the cliff on the wet sand. I was hoping you lived in the South Island so I could do some workshops with you.
I love painting landscapes, animals and traditional icons. I'm very much a detail artist but feel I need to become looser in my style. Tried doing a still life with a 1" brush, it was fun!
Glad to be part of your group. Jayne

Thanks for the tip Richard, will keep that in mind. I'll check out the Ruakaka video. Cheers

Hi Richard, The south is a very inspiring place. I like some of Peter Beadle work. I like to work around the Desert Rd areas in the NI. Great place.

Richard, are you doing classes now? I would to see more of your work. We will be in New Zealand, near Auckland, Oct 25-28th. Perhaps we can make it further north...

Hi Richard.
Going very well at the moment. Have had our visas extended to the full 3 year period for the LTBV. Studio also going well already have 12 students that come every week. Nolan and have been also selected to exhibit in the Kumeu Art in the Garden on 7-8 November 2009.
Exciting part is that Nolan and I are busy setting up video recording facilities for making training videos. In the testing stage at the moment. Will contact you later about it. I have not forgotten about you. Was going to contact you some time back and then saw that you and family were on vacation.
Still very busy setting up certain section of the studio apart from the teaching side. Giving an Abstract Art workshop this Saturday.
We were also in Christchurch with our daughter and fam. about the same as you were there giving workshops. Took lovely photos at Arthurs Pass and Lake Tekapo.
How is it your side?
