full time, and moved to Minneapolis to study classical oil
painting techniques.
Richard studied the figure
from life at The Ateliers in Minneapolis for 2 years and then to
The Hurinenko & Paquet Studio. He studied with Jeff Hurinenko's
portrait painting and was introduced to Flemish painting
techniques and with Joe Paquet in outdoor landscape and
composition. He says, "The first time I set up a French easel
outside and painted with the sun on my face, I was hooked, (I
had spent too many years in front of a computer monitor on
beautiful days)." For the past six years Richard has
concentrated on learning to paint plein air, and working these
paintings into larger studio paintings. To learn more about
