Painting Workshop

Portrait Painting with Tim Benson
Friday 18th February 2022, 10am - 4pm

Tim will be teaching participants how he makes his portraits, using quick, bold marks of thick oil paint. Participants will produce three paintings on board, two on smaller boards in the morning and a larger painting in the afternoon. Tim is a highly experienced teacher who will demonstrate, instruct and inspire throughout the day.

There will be two models in the studio to work from and all materials will be provided. Paints will be Winsor and Newton’s Artisan Water-mixable Oils requiring no turpentine in the studio.

Tim Benson is President of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the New English Art Club. He is possibly best known for his solo shows of portraits at the Mall Galleries, raising awareness of Ebola with King’s Sierra Leone Partnership and the sight charity Orbis.
