Plein-Air Painting Workshop – Sat 31st May 2025
The term ‘plein-air’ comes from the French for ‘in the open’ and describes the concept of taking your paints and easel outside and painting the landscape on location.
Join me at Stamford Arts Centre at 10am on the 31st May for my group plein-air painting workshop where I demonstrate (1hr) how to quickly map out your composition and capture proportions accurately, followed by, how to capture tonal relationships and establish the focal point of your painting.
After the demonstration, I invite you to head out into Stamford to paint the town. There are an abundance of scenes to inspire the artist with narrow alleys and interesting architecture everywhere. There’s also a beautiful meadow and river that’s easily accessible. I’ll be on hand to assist and advise if requested throughout the day.
At 4pm we return to Stamford Arts Centre to view our efforts and have discussion.

Each piece is created from life — a real place and time where I breath in what I perceive and attempt to show you, the viewer, what I see and how it makes me feel. My artistoc journey has led me to direct observation from life. An objective and subjective truth I can share.
I’m very fortunate to be increasingly receiving commissions for paintings from all over the world. It is a tremendous honor to be employed in such a way, and it is very much appreciated. Without the trust and generosity of patrons, many artists simply wouldn’t be working, including me.
