Profile
Watercolours (and acrylics)
Paul Talbot-Greaves is a professional painter from England, working primarily in watercolour, although he also works with acrylic. He says: “I like to seek out compositions employing patterns of light, shade and contrast. At home, I enjoy painting wild places or capturing the timeless essence and atmosphere of the South Pennine landscape where I live.”
Paul has achieved many accolades over the years and won many awards, but, while he appreciates the recognition, he always prefers to allow his work to speak for itself. During his career, he has worked with some of the world’s biggest publishers and he has had four books published on watercolour painting. He is a regular contributor to The Artist’ magazine. Paul is also a very experienced teacher. He says: “I have been teaching painting through courses and workshops over the last 20 years, where I get an enormous amount of pleasure seeing people improve and enjoy their own work.”
Praise from Paul’s students
“It is one thing to be proficient as an artist and it is another skill to impart knowledge and teach effectively! These two experiences do not necessarily go together. No problem for you! Highly organised, good timing, excellent 'pitch' …clear and progressive lessons, culminating in a session using all learned techniques...wonderful.” -
Chris (retired teaching professional)
Thank you VERY much indeed.....a brilliant approach to this medium and I feel I shall have much more enjoyment in the future rather than the 'labouring' of far too many 'disappointments' and a few expletives!! Having a framework & understanding 'contrasts' has made a massive difference...I even commence all work now by asking myself "Where is the light?" You are immaculately prepared, but more than this you understand intuitively how people learn. All this added to the fact that you are an amazing artist makes you an inspirational teacher. -
