Your Tutor
Roger, a self taught
professional artist, has
over 40 years experience of drawing and painting in oil, acrylic and watercolour.
He has lived in the Midlands the whole of his
life, and has practiced his art in
many countries .
His paintings are regularly exhibited, mainly in the
Midlands, U.K. and
most of his sales are now via commissions.
He is holding group watercolour painting courses
at locations in the West Midlands, Herefordshire and North Wales
and also offers one to one tuition at his home studio in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.
As a practicing artist, Roger regularly changes the subject matter of his paintings.
Subjects that he likes to cover are landscapes, townscapes, snowscapes, seascapes, flowers,
still life, wildlife, and portraits.
This keeps his enthusiasm for painting
fresh and maintains
an all round ability.
He likes to paint from life but finds it just as enjoyable painting
from
photographs or making something up.

Previously, Roger was a garden designer,
combining his artistic talents to his
knowledge of plants,
but
now devotes his time to teaching art and painting.
The latest project involved setting up a
website that all artists can use to exhibit
their work.
He has
also started a free on-line art club for all that have been on one
of his courses,
giving his students
the opportunity to
keep in touch and motivated
into
painting more, enjoying their pastime / hobby.

Roger believes that we all have the ability to
draw and paint to a good standard with
training and the inclination
to learn.
Some people are naturally
gifted and start at a
higher level than others. It's a shame
that many less
naturally
gifted go through life
saying and believing that they
could never draw
or paint anything, and so never try.
Drawing and painting should be fun to learn and a relaxing and enjoyable thing to do.

A note to beginners..........You can produce good paintings quite early on, even
if you think that you cannot draw very well,
providing that you don't become too ambitious with your chosen subject matter.
What other pastime can be done in almost any location, at any time, in time
periods to suit yourself, that doesn't involve
strenuous exercise (unless your
pictures are a lot bigger than his), and can be done alone or with
others,
oh, and can be as affordable
or expensive as you want it to be.
Like anything we do in life, the more we do
of it , the better and more comfortable we become with it.
With the help of good techniques, tips and guidance, Roger wishes to enhance the pleasure for all
budding artists.
