Richard Wills 

Richard Wills has has been a generous and loyal supporter of Art in Penallt, exhibiting, demonstrating and teaching masterclasses and giving great encouragement to all.

Richard Wills was born in Monmouth and studied at Newport College of Art under Tom Rathmell. He specialises in portraiture but is a skilled water colourist with over 50 years of experience working in a variety of mediums and in a myriad of styles to include landscape, abstract pieces and sculpture.

He works from his self-designed home and studio in Monmouth and has exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal West of England Academy, Royal Society of Portrait Painters, Royal Water Colour Society, Royal Water Colour Society of Wales and the Welsh Young Contemporaries. 

“A sensitivity to the subject and to the character within it is the pervading quality of all of Richard Wills’s work. A mastery of the mediums he uses is his fundamental competence. The wit and the capacity to explore and share his talent is the appeal of the artist as a person”
