Just a quick update on where you can see my work and news on courses.
Where you can find me…
I’ve just had a successful Bath Art Fair back in February and you can see my latest plein air paintings including those painted in Bath at the Bath Contemporary Art Fair which is at Green Park Station this coming Sunday the 13th 10-5pm.
I’ll have some of the larger abstract seascapes there that I was working on over the winter using much more texture and glazes than my plein air oil work.
The Clevedon Art Club Show and Sell is also on currently and runs until the 15th of April, 10-4pm. It’s at the beautiful science atrium at Clevedon School again and always looks superb, I’ll have two local views there and some unframed lifeclass work.
If you really want to see all of what I’ve been doing over the last year then ink North Somerset Arts week in your diary from 3-11 May. I’ll be opening my studio here in Portishead and have invited Andrew Hardwick, member of the RWA to exhibit here too. I can’t wait to see his work here myself. Andrew is very well known for his imposing, heavily textured landscapes full of emotion, https://www.andrewhardwick.com. Coincidentally and very excitingly Andrew and I have both just been elected member’s of the Bath Society of Artists.
I’ve had two seascapes selected for the Wales Contemporary Exhibition and it’s moved on from London to the Waterfront Gallery in Milford Haven, if you’re heading in that direction drop in.
Courses coming up
I’m running some Plein Air painting days on Black Nore beach again this year, the dates for this year are the 15 and 16th of June (https://ianpriceart.co.uk/oil-painting-outdoors/).
If you can’t make these then I can do one to one sessions or take a group of friends out. I recently ran a painting session bought as a birthday gift and we both had a great day helped by this lovely recent weather.
Andrew James is back for his 24rd (!) Expressive Portrait painting course in Portishead this Autumn. He’ll be tutoring 2 day and 3 day courses with different models on each, 22nd to 26th of October. We’re very lucky to have him, he won the LeClerc Medal for portraiture at last year’s Royal Portrait Society show, one of the professions top accolades. I’ll be running a portrait course a couple of weeks before on the 13th-14th October also with a live portrait model, this will take less experienced painters through the drawing basics and how to develop towards painting, it also provides a chance to use oil paint for the first time.

Thanks for continuing to support me in only my second year as a full time artist.
