Damian Callan

I am a practising figurative painter based in Edinburgh. I work in oils, charcoal, pastel and ink – my subject is the moving figure; drawn and painted in strong tonal contrasts. I also teach drawing and painting classes for adults and art classes for children at his studio and in the spring and summer I run landscape painting courses in and around Edinburgh. I am the author of two books, Paint Like Degas and Paint Like Renoir and my work is exhibited widely in the UK and is held in collections across the world.
