About the Artist

For many years, from his studio in the hills of Western Massachusetts, Paul has painted portraits of distinguished clients both nationally and internationally. Now he is devoting his painting time to exploring his love of Plein Air painting, including landscapes and waterscapes as well as still life, portrait and figure work. Each painting presents a challenge to bring the beauty that he sees in ordinary images on to canvas.

He has produced three videos entitled:

* OIL PORTRAIT DEMONSTRATION 


* PASTEL PORTRAIT DEMONSTRATION 


* WATERCOLOR PORTRAIT DEMONSTRATION

He is the author of three books:

* DRAWING EXPRESSIVE PORTRAITS 


* PAINTING EXPRESSIVE PORTRAITS IN OIL 


* PAINTING EXPRESSIVE PORTRAITS IN PASTEL

Paul has also been featured in American Artist Magazine, Pastel Artist International, and the Pencil Box published by North Light Books. In addition he was featured in American Artist Watercolor Magazine and contributed articles to the Drawing Board section of Artist’s Magazine.
