From Life

Throughout my career as an illustrator, I have continued to paint and draw regularly from life as a way of keeping my skills honed, however, in recent years I paint and draw more and more just for the challenge, and for the sheer love of it. I want to share my passion for representational art with the artists who join my course.

We will paint in oils and draw in charcoal, and our subjects will be people and places and objects. We will work hard, we will learn techniques and theories, and, I promise, we will have a lot of fun too.

* Cost does not include accommodation. Artform also provide an artist accommodation package.
Details on art materials required to participate in the course will be provided after signing up to the course.


About Artform

PJ Lynch

"As a representational artist I strive to understand my world by painting and drawing what I see around me, and as a story-teller I look for the narrative in everything, whether it is hidden in the weathered features of a face, in the arrangement of a collection of objects or in the mystery of a door that lies intriguingly ajar."
