Hi, I'm

Paul Talbot-Greaves

I'm an artist, author and tutor with a 30 year long passion for painting.

I'm passionate about

 

capturing the moods of the landscape environment, particularly through the use of light to depict those idyllic days where shadows dance through the woods as you walk the dog, or those brooding moods that chase you off the moor and back to a coffee by a cosy log fire.

My passion for art began...

​

when I was five years old and that vision has never wavered throughout my life. Now into my 25th year as a full time painter, author, and tutor, I am proud to have my work distributed throughout the globe, with four published art books, and highly regarded as a popular tutor in the world of painting. In 2023 I was elected as a member of the prestigious Royal Institute Of Painters In Watercolours.

My work...

 

varies between three disciplines of watercolour, acrylic and oil, of which I have been labelled a master painter by fellow artists and professional bodies in the creative sector. My landscape work often reflects the rugged scenery of the Yorkshire hills where I live, drawing my inspiration from historical connections using layers of colour, texture, shapes and patterns applied with energy and feeling.

​I aim to connect with my audience on an

emotional level, often drawing attention to elements of a subject that go unnoticed.

I write...
 
many articles for The Artist magazine (UK), have four practical art books published and I've contributed to various others. I'm represented by numerous galleries based around the North of England.
 
I can be found on Instagram and Facebook where I regularly post up to date pieces and inspirational stories. If you're a fan please give me a follow - it means such a lot to me to have your support.
