Michael Richardson Brush Sets
From Rosemary & Co.

English Modern Impressionist painter Michael Richardson grew up in Ipswich in Suffolk, a particularly pleasant rural county in the South East of England also known as “Constable Country”. He has travelled extensively painting throughout Europe, The Far East, Indonesia, New Zealand, Australia and the USA. His main current interest is in plein air painting enjoying the challenge of working fast in all weather in front of the subject.

He is a member of the Wapping Group of Artists, probably the oldest outdoor painting society in the UK which numbers several of the most prominent British landscape and marine artists. He is also a member of The Chelsea Art Society, United Society of Artists and is a founder member of the Brass Monkeys Art Society.

He has exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, The Royal Society of Marine Artists, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters and The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour at the Mall Galleries in London.

Michael Richardson has worked with the brush makers Rosemary and Co to design two great sets of brushes for plein air painters, a Starter Set of seven brushes and a Master Set of 18 brushes.

Michael Richardson says: ‘I have designed this Plein Air Master brush set with Rosemary & Co to cater for the more experienced on-site painter. They will enjoy the wider range of marks and textures at their disposal and will be able to undertake larger and more ambitious plein air subjects.’

Michael Richardson says: ‘When I looked back at all the money I wasted on brushes when I first started, I realised I only needed a small selection so I believe that by working with Rosemary Brushes to produce this Plein Air Beginner set that someone who is just starting out will not be short of anything and will be able to tackle small paintings without any problems. Later they may wish to progress to the Michael Richardson Plein Air Master set which will enable them to work larger’.

  1. I found Michael via Jacksons and I thank
    you for that. I recently enjoyed a 2 day
    pleinair workshop with Michael at Margate
    and got to know his works and some great
    painting stories. I feel I learnt so much in
    two days although its going to take a lot
    more to put all of that into practice.

    1. That sounds like it was really good! Did you get to use his brushes while you attended his workshop?
