Robert Brindley
Working in Watercolour, Oils and Pastels, Robert's main
inspiration is the challenge of capturing light and atmosphere in a
modern impressionistic style. He paints, mainly
landscape and coastal scenery, around his home in North Yorkshire, or on
his travels including, Cornwall, the South Coast, Wales, Scotland and
further a field in Venice, France, India or anywhere where there is an
opportunity to portray nature and her moods. Although
primarily a landscape artist, Robert occasionally paints interiors,
sometimes including a figure in the composition. As in his landscape
paintings, Robert strives to reproduce the quality of the light in the
chosen subject. Robert is a member of the prestigious
Royal Society of Marine Artists. His work can be seen at the Mall
Galleries, London, at their annual exhibition and with other members
throughout the country, in marine related shows.

Mike Chaplin
Mike is known in Britain and internationally as a painter,
etcher, writer, teacher and television personality. He originally
trained at Watford School of Art (Graphic Design), and after teaching
art in Hertfordshire schools (his original home) carried out a
postgraduate course in printmaking at Brighton College of Art. Whilst
still a student at Brighton, he was elected (one of the youngest ever)
Associate of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers (RE), became a
fellow in 1971 and subsequently served as Honorary Secretary and later
Vice-President. His love of painting was found early. From the age
of 12 he knew what he wanted from his life, and has been lucky (and
hard-working) enough to achieve this. A lifelong love of watercolour
was rewarded in 1993 with his election as Associate of the Royal
Watercolour Society, and his elevation to full member in 1997.
Mike’s work, both in painting and printmaking, has made him one of Britain’s most well known painters, and he is represented in many public and private collections worldwide, including those of HM The Queen, HM The Queen Mother, ex-King Constantine of the Hellenes, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, The Ashmolean Museum Oxford, The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, and the Daily Express (mural for the Boardroom).
Mike achieved great popularity as resident art expert on the hit Channel 4
programme Watercolour
Challenge with Hannah Gordon. With 3 series and over 60 programmes Mike
reached an audience of over 1 1/2 million . In 2007 Mike was given the enormous privilege of using J M W Turner's pigments
to be ground by him into watercolour. The paint was subsequently used by him for
filming Turner's watercolour techniques for a permanent exhibition at Tate
Britain in London.

Robyn
Cooper
Self taught Artist and Art Tutor since
1994. I discovered Genesis Heat-Set Oils in 1996 which alleviated the health
issues. Genesis Oils provides the perfect medium, giving me the freedom &
control over the whole drying process, along with the advantage of no time
consuming- set up or clean up each day, plus many other advantages which, as an
artist, one could only dream of. Teaching Art is my second passion. Being
able to pass on my own knowledge and expertise is always rewarding, in
particular, seeing the end result on the students canvas. An extension of this has made me take
teaching from the classroom situation to sharing my teaching skills and
techniques with people all around the world via DVD’s.

Ron Gribble
Ron was born in Te Kuiti in 1949. Ron began his art career when his art
teacher “bullied him into painting” during his School
Certificate year. He trained as a commercial artist, but loves most of
all to paint the natural landscape, as God created it, but in a bold,
painterly style. It should look at its best when viewed from four to
six metres away. Oils would be his medium of choice, but he has won
awards in Acrylics, Water Colours as well as Oils. He has won or been
placed in thirteen national art competitions since he began painting
seriously in 1978.
His paintings have been reproduced in the form of hand signed limited
edition prints, place- mats, coasters, and calendars. As the result of
successful exhibitions, Ron’s work can be found in many countries
in the world. Ron is the author of an instructional video,
“Painting in Oils, with Ron Gribble.” This has sold many
copies in his native New Zealand, and under license in the U.K. and
Australia. He has, as a result, become a sought after tutor, and judge.

conscious that she was already on the portraiture road. Since
then she has continued without break doing commissions but always
tempering this work with self-generated and non-commissioned projects.

Richard Rogers
Born in Kyogle, New South Wales in 1954, Richard Rogers is
known for iconic Australian imagery and the vibrancy of his painting
style. His art education has been largely informal. During the
1980's he learnt the technique of batik
from South Australian artist Jeremy Keyte, which led to his first solo
exhibition, held at the Underground Gallery in Coober Pedy in
1985. Dissatisfied with the colour fastness of the dyes he used,
he switched to painting with more traditional mediums, watercolour,
acrylics.and oils. He now paints primarily with acrylics. Meeting and
spending time with an aboriginal artist, John Evans, inspired a desire
to create an art style that is identifiably Australian, one that
combines the rhythm, patterns and colour of indigenous art with
Europeon art techniques. Richard's last exhibition sold completely and his work has been featured in the Artists Palette and Australian Artist magazines. His paintings are found in collections throughout Australia and overseas.
