    Lecturing at Studio Incamminati, Philadelphia, PA

    In early November 2025 I had the great pleasure of speaking with the students of Studio Incamminati in Philadelphia on pigments and the newest colours in the Winsor & Newton Artists’ Oil Colour range. The studio is modeled on both the traditional Italian art accademia and the French atelier and was founded by the late, world-renowned portraitist Nelson Shanks.

    Plein air painting in El Dorado State Park, Colorado 2023

    Plein air painting in El Dorado State Park, Colorado 2023

    My job working for an art materials manufacturer sometimes takes me to some pretty awesome places. During the Plein Air Convention and Expo in Denver I had the opportunity to hack out a little gouache painting in El Dorado State Park. I only had one hour before my colleagues wanted to grab dinner so there was no time to get fussy. Paint what you see and don't over think it.

    Plein aire painting in 18F/-7C weather in Hillsdale, NY

    For Christmas my wife gave me a weekend painting trip with my friend and fellow artist Bruce, in Hillsdale, NY at the foot of the Berkshire Mountains. In spite of the very cold temperatures we painted outside and had a wonderful time. Three of the paintings I created that weekend can be seen here on Artfinder.

    Plein air painting discussion with Sketchbook Skool

    I was asked by the online program Sketchbook Skool to join a panel discussion on plein air painting. In this video we discuss the various art materials that can be helpful for getting outdoors to paint.

    Watercolour vs Gouache demo

    In my job as Resident Artist for an art materials manufacturer I am often called upon to perform product related demos to help artists better understand their tools. This was a demo I performed for the art retailer Artist & Craftsman.

    Robert is a really wonderful artist from Holland that I have had the privilege of working with several times. Here we are during an impromptu outdoor painting session in London.
