Tutor Francis Martin
Francis Martin lives and works in Gloucestershire, his studio within walking distance to the landscape subject matter of his practice. Francis works from observation, on location and alongside landscape, his practice incorporates themes of portraiture and still life -subjects that he regularly teaches in his classes at New Brewery Arts.
As an instructor, Francis specialises in observational painting and drawing, believing that the ability to see well and respond intuitively are paramount to developing skills in the crafts of painting and drawing. His classes are an informal and relaxed environment where students can feel comfortable to learn, practice, take risks and explore creatively.
Francis studied fine art practice and theory at Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton before completing a postgraduate scholarship at the Royal Drawing School, London. His paintings and drawings are held in public and private collections across the UK and Europe.
