Painting: Flowers & Still Life 5 day watercolour course

Paul Riley's artistic career began at the age of 15 when the Royal Academy accepted one of his works for their Summer Exhibition. At that time he was the youngest painter to have work exhibited at the Academy. Since graduating from Kingston Art School in 1965 Paul has had many solo and group exhibitions both in the UK and Europe, and further afield in Kuwait and Australia. Primarily an oil painter and printmaker, Paul also became fascinated by the medium of watercolour. In the last 20 years he has established himself as one of Britain's leading watercolourists.

Paul teaches watercolour and oil painting both here in Devon, England and abroad. He has also written three bestselling instructional books and contributes regularly to The Artist Magazine. In 2015 his new book on Flower Painting will be published and his first instructional DVD will also be released.

This classic watercolour course gives special attention to those who wish to develop their watercolour technique with guidance given in colour, composition and the techniques of brushwork. Paul is well known for his stunning flower paintings, if you have his book and want it to 'come to life' this is an ideal course. It is also recommended for those who would like to try both subject areas rather than spend the week on a specialist subject. Flowers will be captured in the studio and whether permitting in the garden.
