Choosing to study the traditional techniques used in 19th-century ateliers, he began training at the London Atelier of Representational Art (LARA) in September 2016. Through his classical training, Alastair has seen his skills develop as his understanding of painting and drawing techniques grew.

Through the in-depth analysis of life; from the colours within colours to the subtle changes in shape and gesture, this training has forever changed the way he sees and interacts with the world. Alastair strives to create paintings of subjects that inspire him, and is continuing to develop his own individual style.
