Most artists fight their darks. Richard Thorn puts the brightest wash down first it again.

Richard’s opening wash isn't the first step — it's the whole plan:

Landscape

Read the light before the first brushstroke — where it's brightest, where shadow takes over, what stays bright and what drops into dark

Abstract

Lay one bright, intense wash that keeps glowing through every layer painted over it

Portraits

Build the texture of grass and foliage with stipple and spatter — without painting a single blade

Still Life

Rework his reference photo on the spot,instead of copying it stroke for stroke

Your workshop with Richard Thorn

Day 1
A blank sheet becomes a landscape and you'll understand every reason why.

Light. Shadow. Layered washes. Texture. Richard shows each idea live, on one summer meadow scene — from the first bright wash to the final controlled darks. Expect steady brushwork, plain talk, no scripted demo — and a live Q&A where you can ask Richard directly about light, tone, and texture.
