We never know when going ‘Out and About with Paul’ what the weather has in store for us, but adaptability is the name of the game when venturing out and as you will see in this trailer, we were very lucky indeed over the two days and were able to film the entire on-the-spot tutorial as we hoped for – click here for trailer.

• Our philosophy is to hold nothing back - which is why you get to see everything in my tutorials; from those all-important thumbnails, essential in plotting out your composition, right through to the final stroke of super highlight.
• See how I choose a complementary underpainting, to set off the greens to follow and note, as the painting progresses, how the varied palette of greens vibrate, against the underlying reds and purples.
• See every colour mix being created on the palette.
• Watch each brush-stroke on the surface.
• Catch the many invaluable hints and tips in my running commentary.
• Learn how to create an impressionistic style oil painting, using the Alla Prima technique.

We are often asked if any of my paintings, produced exclusively for video tutorials and my painting instruction books, are available for sale. Generally these are offered for purchase at one of our invitation-only private views, at prices well below my Collectors Artworks, when visitors can browse through our portfolios containing unframed artworks that have been created specifically for this purpose. We haven’t, however, had a Private View for quite a number of years, due to the sheer amount of time spent on my on-going Elphen Chronicles project, not to mention the time spent on filming and producing the over 700 instructional videos that are currently available on my official account on Vimeo.

        So, instead ...... we will soon be communicating privately with those who would normally receive one of our private invitations, with details of selected pieces of ‘tutorial’ artworks that we’ll make available for sale (such as the little oil painting of the sheep in the snow that was created for our Whites box-set). We had hoped to find the time this Autumn for a Private View here in our studio, but there is so much going on with my Elphen Chronicles and of course more tutorials to attend to, that we think it unlikely this will happen. We’d be delighted to include you in this private communiqué, should you be interested in seeing what we have to offer, so do let us know by replying to this email.
