About this Event
Oil Painting with Tom Stevenson
Come join us for a fun and creative weekend of oil painting with the talented artist, Tom Stevenson ROI. Tom s based in Devon where he works from life to create paintings that follow a path between figurative and abstract styles to explain the light and colour of his surroundings.
In his paintings Tom relies upon the uncontrollability of oil as a medium to build a fresh and organic surface. He works from life and is drawn to subjects such as the coast, figures and the dramatic skies seen over the surrounding countryside.
His work is underpinned by strong composition and is often constructed around a simple compositional idea or collection of colours which form the starting point and focus of the painting.
Tom is an elected member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI). He studied at Plymouth College of Art and Design, Bath School of Art and holds a degree in Fine Art from Exeter College of Art and Design.
