Tutor:

Pierce Rhodes (@pierce_rhodes) is an artist based in Dublin. Using the medium of oil paint, Pierce specializes in the Alla Prima style of work, which means “wet on wet,” finishing the painting in one sitting, keeping it simple and loose. He believes that a strong understanding of the fundamentals is the key to being able to express oneself in painting. Pierce’s teaching method revolves around clear communication and demonstration. He meets you where you’re at in your artwork and guides you from there.
