Interested in art from an early age,
Richard was encouraged by his family
to draw which was aided by a constant
supply of paper provided by a relative
who worked at a paper mill.
Working in the heating industry for
over forty years, the last twenty two
of which he was involved in training
industry professionals to exceedingly
high standards, he endeavours to use
this experience in adult education, to
deliver simple effective processes to
help others make improvements in
their art.
Primarily a landscape painter, he has
been influenced by the work of the
"Edwards" (Wesson and Seago) and
he tries to capture the essence of the
scene in his chosen medium of
watercolour in loose fluid washes with
the minimum of fuss and application.
