Who is your tutor:
Richard Francis Bellin studied Illustration BA(hons) at Southampton University in 2009. He found his calling in fine art painting, creating landscapes and seascapes on a commission basis. Richard has recently rediscovered a love for oils, finding inspiration in the great masters. Having previously used handmade paints which were chalky, quick drying and unmalleable, Richard found comfort working in a free flowing medium with unlimited possibilities. Richard is a multidisciplinary artist, teaching a variety of classes from life drawing to oil painting and illustration, to all ages.
