Not sure how to really loosen up your work? Here's a great lesson for you. Along the way you'll discover the joy of painting in a colourful impressionistic style using large brushes and loads of paint.
Follow me step by step as I show you the techniques I use to paint this light filled scene. Designing an inviting scene, painting with freedom, and a variety of fun techniques are all demonstrated in the video. Suitable for oils or acrylics. Enjoy!
Whenever you’re ready! The lesson is available online any time, and your access to the lesson never expires.
As long as you need! Your access never expires, so you can come back again and again.

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.
Richard is a master artist with an exceptional skill in identifying and communicating key factors to making successful paintings. I have found his video workshops an excellent resource for improving my own work.

Wow, you've achieved some great expressive brushwork here Jose, palette knife included. The beach is a little more orange that I'd expect, taking a little of the colour glory away from the boats, but it's certainly a punchy look against all that grey background. The light on the torso of the closest figure is not reading quite right yet - always think about the direction of the light and how that will play out across a form. Also the angles of the boat are a little off. Keep a close eye on the drawing in the centre of attention, even in expressive paintings like this one. Good job.
