Your TutorRoger, a self taught
professional artist, has
over 40 years experience of drawing and painting in both oil, acrylic and watercolour. |
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.
Recent projects involved setting up a
website that all artists can use to exhibit or sell their work. Also he has
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 motivate them into
painting more and 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.
