I'm often asked which are my favorite painting lessons out of all the lessons I've produced over the years. So far it's these two - Mastering Color and Mastering Sunsets. Here's why:
Mastering Color teaches you to see and paint color. Color can be a huge stumbling block for beginners. This course puts you on the right track to fast improvement. Colour is a huge part of what inspires me to paint.
Suitable for all mediums.
Mastering Sunsets takes colour to the next level and looks specifically at how the light from the Sun interacts with our atmosphere, revealing colour in all its glory. Achieving glowing light effects are a big part of my painting process so I love this painting course because it really focuses on this special area of painting.
Suitable for Oils and Acrylics.
I still remember my first paintings on canvas, how exciting and wonderful it was but also how frustrating it was because I knew how I wanted my paintings to look (by being inspired by great artist's work) but I didn't know how to get there, what were the rules, how could I mix that colour, how could they make it look so real yet so much more expressive than any photograph???
I wish I'd had someone to show me the ropes when I was starting out, but I had to struggle through by myself. Now I hope I can help you by showing you all the pitfalls to avoid like muddy colour, poor drawing and composition, lack of variety and unity to name just a few, and to help you put your feet on the path to painting freely with deep knowledge, expression and passion.
I do hope you'll join me.
Happy painting!
Richard.

Hi I’m Richard. I’ve been painting my whole life and back in 2001 I traded my graphic design career for the humble life of a full time artist. I love painting, and as it turns out, I love teaching too.
Nowadays I balance my life between parenting, painting, surfing, travelling and teaching. My work is regularly featured in international art magazines, in galleries in New Zealand and America, on TV and in my Mum’s house.
I give outdoor painting workshops in interesting spots around this beautiful planet of ours and love encouraging people to paint. Two of my favourite artists are John Singer Sargent and Joaquín Sorolla.

I’d love to be your new teacher.
