Richard Cutler - Developing your own vision in oils or acrylics Wednesdays 6:30 - 9:30

Richard Cutler - Painting – Developing your own vision in oils or acrylics

Today it is obvious that there are many different ways and traditions of painting that we can learn from.  Each person has their own personality. So to express this, we can learn from these traditions.  Painting is a visual art so we can educate one’s senses much like a composer or musician educates the ears to hear more deeply.  To develop the beauty in our paintings sometimes we have to undo habits of thinking that get in the way.


As a painter of 50 years experience, and having experienced a very profound teacher in John Ogburn, I hope I can help you to see more for yourself.
