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 & seascape paintings widely and has sold his art all over the world. He is now offering inspirational day courses, or 1-to-1 tuition at his characterful, purpose built art studio tucked away in a secret garden in Whitstable on the North Kent coast.

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

In this course, he will work with you either in his studio, garden, or directly on the seafront (a 3 minute walk), Whitstable Harbour and other places, to 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 ( maximum of 5 participants), so that you will get lots of individual attention and ensure the highest quality of experience. They are intended for beginners and intermediate painters. Please bring your own lunch and art materials.

£ 95 10am-4:30pm

£ 50 for 2 ½ hours

We are currently considering Saturdays + Wednesdays for day retreats during the warmer months, but are flexible in regards to other days and hours.

Free Parking is available at the top of the hill, near the Rose in Bloom pub (a 3 minute walk). However due to this very steep location, it is not suitable for wheelchairs users, or frail people. During your stay you will have access to Ric’s oil painting exhibition, as well as an opportunity to pick up some lovely greeting cards and prints.

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.

Below is Ric’s Salcombe Greeting Card Collection.
