Will is an award-winning artist and online tutor. He studied Fine Art at Foundation and Degree level and has subsequently designed education programmes for museums & schools. Will used to run his own art gallery and was represented by Demonfort Fine Art. He now teaches beginners the fundamentals of classical painting in an accessible way.
In 2010 he received a QEST Scholarship to study sight-size portraiture in Florence. He studied at the Angel Academy of Art, Charles Cecil Studios and Sarum Studios. This was formal training at the highest level, which proved to Will how important good tuition is.
On return from Italy, Will was inspired to create an educational website resource for other artists worldwide. He believes that others, who don’t have access to specialist tuition, can also benefit from traditional classical painting skills being passed on.
In 2012 he launched his YouTube Channel, which now has over 300,000+ subscribers and 24 million views. He paints from his studio by the sea in St Ives, Cornwall.
