About me

Les spent much of his life as a Freelance Graphic Designer and Musician and only really took the plunge into professional Art in his late 40's after discovering the Pastel Medium.

He became the first Ambassador for Canson Papers in the UK representing them at all major Art shows and is also an Associate artist for Unison Pastels and Panpastel plus and associate member of the "Pastel Society of America". 

Les specialises in teaching the Art of painting, creating light, energy and movement in painting, avoiding accurate representation and aim to help students find a freedom of mark making to aid development as an individual artist.

Les produced his first book last year and has a YouTube Channel with over 1.4 Million views so far and 14,000 subscribers. He has a passion for pastels and loves to teach students his techniques and share the knowledge he has gained so far.
