Online Painting Lesson

Smugglers Bay

with Richard Robinson

$45.00USD

Turn an average photo into a great painting.

I know what it''s like to flick through your photos looking for inspiration but never finding something that sparks you. It''s a frustrating waste of time!

In this lesson learn how to turn an average photo into a great little painting. All it takes is a little extra thinking and planning. The main ingredient is the LIGHT.

We''ll go from designing on the ipad (painting right on top of the photo) over to the canvas where I’ll be teaching you about drawing, colour mixing, variety (how to create more interest in your paintings), texture, and we''re really going to focus on how you can invent light to bring the best out of your subject.

Follow along step by step using the resource photos or use the techniques to create something more your own.

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.
