#27. James Hayes ~ The Life Of An Artist Inside The Famous Talgarth Road Studios

from The Lives Of The Artists · host nicktodhunter

James Hayes is an acclaimed portrait painter who lives and works in St Paul’s Studios on Talgarth Road in London which are a distinctive row of late-Victorian Arts & Crafts-style live-work houses built in 1891 by architect Frederick Wheeler with huge north-facing windows to give painters and other artists superb natural light, and they quickly became a celebrated enclave for creative figures in west London. Painting exclusively from life, Hayes's approach relies heavily upon the mastery of natural light, an adept eye for composition and the preparation of his own pigments and canvases.
