Info: 

The workshop approach to learning to paint is based on active, "hands-on" participation by the student. With this in mind, "Oils Workshop" - the fourth title in Collins' "Workshop" series for the leisure painter - combines instructional teaching by a professional artist with practical exercises and projects which are specifically designed to encourage students to develop their own style and ideas, rather than just copying those of other artists. Included are practical tips, ideas and a wide selection of paintings to show different styles and techniques for inspiration. 

Born in 1951 in London, British artist Richard Pikesley went on to study at the Harrow School of Art, the City of Canterbury College of Art and the University of London. His art education instilled in him a love for landscape and the effect of light and weather.

Richard is most famous as a landscape and seascape painter.  He is particularly noted for his awareness and understanding of his surroundings which has seen him recognised as a truly gifted painter of light. He captures movement and atmosphere faultlessly and he is able to share and convey this in his paintings.
