Statement:

I studied Art at Amersham School of Art in 1988 and followed this with a career in Graphic Design always maintaining my passion for drawing and painting along the way. Moving to

beautiful Bath inspired me to move from life drawing back to ‘en plein air’ painting. Bath has

the architecture, light and atmosphere any artist would fall in love with and there is so much to

paint. The enthusiasm of the public when painting constantly amazes me.

 I recommend street painting to anyone and everyone and I love passing on the

enjoyment in my classes.

“Richard’s unique style of broad sweeping brush strokes brimming with ‘Jo

ie de vivre’ is ideally suited to the remarkable backdrops and light to be found in this beautiful city. These remarkable backdrops are interpreted by Richard with vibrancy, light and shade, thrilling brush strokes and unusual perspectives.”

(Anne, The Mission Gallery)
