Sometimes a work requires a studied design approach, making a plan and following that plan, at other times a more intuitive visceral approach is called for. I let the idea and content of my work dictate the materials and techniques used….not the other way around.

It soon became apparent I was completely unprepared and spent the following six months working on more commercial work. I soon received illustration commissions from broadsheet newspapers, magazines and design firms. Some of the highlights included illustrating a Royal Mail stamp, illustrating a Smirnoff commercial, children's books and every illustrator's dream working on several occasions for Time magazine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"18px\"\u003eAfter years of tight deadlines, demanding national and international clients I fancied more of a challenge and started running a couple of art workshops and demonstrating art techniques around the UK. With whatever time I had left I developed my own paintings for exhibitions. --- I approached a couple of galleries with the new work, the first of which shot my paintings down in flames. At the time I was devastated but I really believe constructive criticism helps you progress and develop as an artist. I went back to the gallery the following week with five new paintings all of which were accepted and sold within the first month of being exhibited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"18px\"\u003eSince then I haven't looked back, in 2005\/07 I won the Society for All Artists Professional Artist category and in 2009 I won the SAA Artist of the Year. I regularly exhibit with the Institute of Oil Painters at the Mall Galleries, I am a gallery represented artist, I've completed an art DVD for System 3 with Daler-Rowney and my first book called ‘Vibrant Acrylics' is published in 2012 by Search Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-open-accessibility-text-original=\"18px\"\u003eMy style has changed over the years from extremely detailed paintings to a much bolder, freer, impressionistic approach.

Untrue! In fact, a good abstraction follows, as artist Robert Burridge puts it, the four Cs: concept, composition, color, and commitment. Follow along as Robert brings you on a tour of the four Cs. Starting with concept, he encourages you to jot down a note about your intention for a painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis will keep you focused as you get into the work. Next is composition and Robert guides you through examples of the 12 designs of composition. Each of these 12 is a framework for a different abstract painting. He shows you how you can focus on one composition a day as part of your warm up. Next Robert jumps into color. Working from his color wheel, he explains four color combinations for you to use in your painting including analogous, complementary, monochromatic and triadic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHe shows that by choosing one of those color combinations (and adding black and white) you are setting yourself up for a good painting. Then he brings out the color wheel he designed himself and shows you how in his paintings, he chooses a dominant color, adds a second color as the focal point and then two additional colors, which he calls the spice. It’s a crash course in color theory that actually makes sense. Next Robert shows you all of these ideas in practice first with a small warm up and then with a large painting both with the composition style meandering.  He chooses a color to be his dominant, adds a bit of collage and works the painting until he likes what he sees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRobert moves fast and loose and he always goes back to his dominant color to make sure it is in fact still dominant. In the end, Robert says, “You can’t judge your painting in the same place you created it.

His paintings in watercolour and acrylic find a resonance with many people because the work communicates the feeling and power of the landscape in a way that goes beyond representation.
