‘A Palette Painting Day’, with Max White
At this free event, artist Max White will be demonstrating his approach to composing and oil painting the landscape!
‘On my day in the gallery, I will be doing a demonstration throughout the day where I will begin the process of scaling up a small study with reference to drawings whilst using a limited palette.’ - Max White
About Max White
Max White AROI collects information about a subject through plein air observation, sketches, paintings, notes. He then works from either drawings, photographs, or small plein air paintings as references alongside colour notes in the studio whilst working on more considered or ambitious paintings.
Painting for Max is about holding onto moments where he experiences something profound; a powerful feeling that usually arises from light in the landscape, although he finds subjects everywhere from the west end of London to his kitchen. His paintings can take weeks or months to complete, over that time he fights a battle with the paint surface to translate and preserve the emotion he experienced when he first saw the subject.
Max’s paintings have gathered significant praise in past few years. In 2024 he was awarded “Artist of The Year” by The Circles of Art foundation. In 2023 he was awarded the 1st prize Winsor and Newton Young Artist Award by the Royal Institute of Oil Painters.
In 2022 he won the Next Generation Award at the Royal Society of Marine Artists Exhibition, and the Green and Stone Prize for a painting from Chelsea Arts Society. This gave him the opportunity to put on a solo exhibition of work at the Gallery at Green and Stone in Chelsea, which was eventually held in May 2024.
In 2021, he was awarded both the Emerging Artist award and the 3rd place Winsor and Newton Young Artist Award at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters exhibition.
He is currently an associate member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, a member of the Wapping Group of artists, and an Associate of Chelsea Arts Society as of 2024.
