Art | Ric W. Horner

Ric W. Horner is a qualified art tutor and has worked professionally for over 35 years. He has exhibited his atmospheric land and seascape paintings widely and has sold his art all over the world. He is now offering inspirational art classes at his characterful art studio set in a secluded garden on Whitstable beach.

This unique location provides the perfect setting for stunning sunsets and dramatic beach scenes.

In this course, he will work with you either in the garden, or directly on the seafront (a 3 minute walk), Whitstable Harbour and other places, where we can identify areas in which you can best improve your technical skills, abilities and confidence.

You will learn about composition, contrasts, colour tones and theory, as well as receive guidance on all the materials needed to construct a successful land, or seascape painting. Classes are kept small, so you will get lots of individual attention and ensure the highest quality experience. They are intended for beginners and intermediate painters.

Free Parking is available at the top of the hill (a 3 minute walk), however due to this very steep location, it is not suitable for wheelchairs users. During your stay you will have access to Ric’s oil painting exhibition, as well as opportunities to pick up his beautiful greeting cards and prints.

Half day (3 hours) : 10am – 1pm – £ 45

Full day (6 hours) : 10am – 5pm incl. lunch break – £ 80

Please bring packed lunch. Tea, biscuits & coffee will be available 😊Payment by cash, or card on the day.

We are flexible in regards to days and hours. Please call: 07835294317, or email: enquiries@richorner.com to register your interest.

Ric has painted Salcombe several times between 2017 and 2018 and has recently produced a wide range of themed greeting cards that cover the region, as well as the South Devon coast.

Salcombe is known for its outstanding views, rolling surrounding countryside, breath-taking natural beauty, sparkling turquoise waters and rugged cliffs. Once a major port for the fruit trade, it has now found fame as a safe haven for family holidays. The Salcombe Town Regatta takes place every year for one week in late July/early August.

The UK coastline is one of the most beautiful in Europe and has a huge number of sailing towns that range from rocky and scenic to stylish and dramatic. It’s destinations are known to, and admired by many visitors from around the world. You just can’t beat the rugged cliffs and lush green landscape of England, which is unofficially the ‘home of sailing’ and it has a long and glorious tradition of boat building and for rearing fine sailors. Salcombe on the South Devon coast is particular scenic with lovely spots for sailing traditional boats and classic yachts.
