Workshop with Paul Talbot-Greaves RI

We don't have details for this workshop yet, so please come back soon for an update

Paul Talbot-Greaves RI is a professional artist who works with watercolour, oil and acrylic. His work reflects the rugged scenery of the landscape either in the context of wild places or in the nature of the Yorkshire hills where he lives.

He draws his inspiration from historical connections using layers of colour, texture, shapes and patterns applied with energy and feeling. His main inspiration is light and the effects created by the contrasts of shadows.

Paul writes articles for The Artist magazine (UK) and has four practical art books published. He has won many awards and shows regularly with the RI in London. He is represented by numerous galleries based around the North of England.
