Mediums: Oil or acrylic – Daniel will work in oil
Date recorded: Friday, August 7, 2026
I will demonstrate some seascape oil studies made from photographic sources. The technique I am focusing on will be seeing and making colour relationships. This will coincide specifically with observing the sky and sea meeting on the horizon.
I will discuss and explore varying the consistency of your paint and the effects that this can create.
I will then show a few images in a 10 minute slide show to conclude the session.

Daniel Shadbolt is a painter from Hertfordshire, England (born in 1980). He graduated from Chelsea College of Art and Design (2003) and the Royal Drawing School (2004) where he also won the Drawing Prize. He has taught painting in London for 20 years and is a member of the New English Art Club (elected in 2015). He paints primarily from observation with a sensitivity for expressive handling of oil paint. His approach to light and brushwork stems from a tradition of mainly French painters who are concerned with atmospheric colour. He published ‘Painting and Drawing the Head’ in 2016. He has work in the Ruth Borchard Collection (2011) and in private collections worldwide. He has exhibited widely, including at the National Portrait Gallery (2002), with the Royal Society of Portrait Painters (2026), from whom he received the Bulldog Bursary (2009) and the Non-Members Prize (2017) and he has had several solo exhibitions including with 155a Gallery (2024). He was awarded the Cass Art Prize from the Hampstead Art Society (2023), the John Goss Award from the Hertford Art Society (2015) and the Welwyn Trophy (2012). In 2021 he was commissioned by the Peninsula Hotel and in 2022 he was commissioned for the Anomie Collections 1 series. He lives and works in London and is married to the painter, Jessica Biggs.
