Kingston Academy

Life drawing workshop

 
Robin held a series of workshops for different groups of our pupils in years 11 and 12. The experience and teaching was cleverly adapted depending on the pupils' ages and skill levels, meaning that all pupils were able to succeed. I was impressed by the huge improvement in pupil work during the sessions and this was down to the helpful feedback Robin gave. Not only did the students make huge progress and learn new skills, but they had a new and exciting experience which they all commented very positively on. We hope to hold more workshops from Robin in the future! Thank you so much Robin and his team of very professional models.

Therfield School

Life drawing workshop

 
Our sixth form artists at Therfield school had an amazing and memorable experience with Robin at our afternoon workshop.  The students thoroughly enjoyed this unique experience and came away with gorgeous work, completed with Robin's expertise and guidance, to submit in their A level portfolio. I would 100% recommend and love to attend again in the future.

Thanks so much for a great experience I’m sure our artists won’t forget

Team building evening

 

'From basic form to finer detail, we spent two hours finding our feet and – believe it or not – forgetting about the totally naked girl in front of us. We tried 10-second sketches, overlaying drafts and swapping half way through until one-by-one, like a Hollywood plot resolution, it happened. Imagine a pat on the back from Da Vinci himself – that’s what it felt like to fill with that warm glow of pride. Or it might have been the wine but whatever, we’re artists now.'

Monthly challenge

 

Our 'Women With Attitude' group had a brilliant life drawing session with Robin. Several of us had never attempted any kind of drawing before, but everyone enjoyed the evening and went home with something they were proud of.

Internationally exhibited, from Paris to Bankside, the work of Robin Rutherford revolves around the idea of motion, his works on canvas at once both a captured sensation, as well as in constant flux. By isolating and spotlighting the kinetic in his subject matter, a sense of progression occurs in his compositions, further informing the viewer of the spatial potential of the canvas.

 

With subject matter ranging from cloudscapes to otherscapes, colour palettes switch from contrasting triads to overlapping hues, a deep sense of movement puncturing the canvas as figures and forms skitter and sway.
