Portraits in the Landscape
Aldo is one of the world’s leading figurative artists. I am thrilled he has agreed to come to Herefordshire to teach at my first workshop at Seabournes Studios. Aldo is a skilled portrait painter, as well as a fabulous figurative and landscape artist. He is perhaps best known for his figures in landscapes and we will take full advantage of the gardens here to paint live models in this landscape and in the studio. Aldo is a kind, warm and observant tutor with an abundance of patience and humour.
