June 20 Landscape in oils using contemporary techniques. A demonstration by Tivon Rivers  I am an oil painter based in Faringdon in Oxfordshire. I like to paint landscapes, seascapes and still life portraits. My style is quite realistic and some might say representational but I aspire to capture the spirit and atmosphere of my subject, adding an ethereal quality that I feel cannot be captured by a photograph.
