Take a look at this big painting currently being worked on by one of our students. It’s really big as you can see. At 100 x 150cm, it’s certainly an ambitious work. Here at the studio we enthusiastically encourage students to push themselves and to try new and different things in their quest to hone …
One of the time-tested methods of learning how to paint better is to make a copy of a work by a master artist. In this case, one of our weekend students decided to make a painting based on the work of 19th century French artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. It’s really coming out great!

This is one of the portrait commissions (one of two for the client), that I am currently working on. What’s shown here is the “first pass” stage. I’ll be going over the whole thing again to refine it, correcting colour and drawing issues along the way. For my portrait commissions, I’m usually called upon to …
