Richard Robinson is an artist I’ve been following for quite a while.
Well, he’s not only an artist, he’s an art teacher, and his videos about light and colour are amongst the best I’ve seen around.
He’s also a fan of Sargent and Sorolla as I am, so well, it has been love at first sight, so to speak.
There are plenty of painter’s tutorials on the internet, but only few of them have a style I’d really like to see in my own work.
If my colours were half as vibrant as Richard’s I would already consider myself an accomplished artist. In the meantime I try and learn what I can from his monthly workshops.

They work slightly differently from other workshops, in that there’s a monthly assignment, people post their work in progress, and Richard posts his comments and suggestions along the way.
Attendees can express their approval on fellow artists via the usual Like button forums often have.
The one with the highest number of Likes at the end of the month wins, a part from the mere enjoyment of peer’s approval, one of Richard’s paintings.
For the workshop he also paints his own version of the assignment and posts the video of the process at the end of the month. Which is great, because you see which choices a master would take in the same thing you tried to do.

The community is quite nice as well, there are some skilled artists there and they’re all really nice and helpful.
More often than not, other people’s eyes are better than yours, especially if you’ve been staring at the same things for a few hours.

Anyway, I had the time to work only of two of the four workshops so far, because it always clashed with some of my freelance deadlines (gosh I can’t wait to be allowed to post THOSE things!)
I was pretty happy with the first one, now looking back at it I realize it’s pretty weak.
Maybe I’m getting better already?
