New Work expanding portfolio - Flowers in the style of abstraction
why we do it
Portraits can be commissioned through consultation online. It is possible to be involved in the process in many ways. I have worked with clients in different countries with different requirements. You can have regular check-in meetings and short video summaries of the work as it develops.
Please visit my shop to see if the style of work suits you. If you start the process and change your mind, that is fine. I ask for a small non-refundable deposit to cover the materials.
A portrait can be of a loved one, a pet or someone that you admire. I have experience of painting from black and white photos that I bring to life in oil colours.
If you like what you see and book a free consultation.
Art from the heart
At the same time as making portraits, I have a collection of paintings of the sea. My process involves an instinctual response. I apply paint and then allow my senses to decide what the next step or brushstroke will be.
I notice my mind in between busily trying to make a decision. When I come to the canvas, I allow myself the space to paint what happens. The approach is instinctual and the painting evolve over many sessions. Taking breaks in between painting allows my senses to refresh. I tend to fall in love with the canvas and need time, like any relationship to get to know the subject. Whatever or whoever that it might be.
About the author
Hi,
I'm Patrick Turner-Lee
I am Patrick Turner-Lee, and I live in Brighton, East Sussex. I paint in oils and have a studio in the City Centre.
I started painting following a cathartic health crisis. On Xmas day 2013, I suffered a heart attack. During my recovery, I found solace in drawing and painting. I paint mainly with oil on canvas. The sea inspires me as well as the character in people's faces.
I sold my first painting at the end of 2014. The client bought the work and became emotional when I gave it to him. He still tells me that he loves this painting. I decided I would devote my time to creating to connect with people.
Since then, I have sold paintings and prints worldwide. Each year I have had exhibitions, and now I am an artist-in-residence in Foodilic, a popular restaurant in a shopping area of Brighton.
2022 is a new period in my Artist practice. I have access to a dark room and will be producing multi-media work. Fascinated with the embellishment of images, I will use different materials to create new work.
Perfect finish
All canvasses can be made to fit your requirements. The stretcher bars are ordered, and then the appropriate substrate is stretched and fixed to the assembled frame
Preparation
All canvasses are stretched and primed with size and Gesso by PTL Arts. The material used is canvas or linen, depending on the style of painting required.
Oil Paint
Oil Paint is generally applied in its original state. Medium is only used if absolutely necessary. The style of painting suits itself to the oil being applied straight from the tube.

What they say
Commissions
It was great working with Patrick after seeing his artwork I was inspired to think about my family and how would like all of my children and my wife to be painted by him.
When you have a family and you think about Legacy I thought would be a beautiful way to remember all my children, and for them to have something special that they could pass on to their children. I had a discussion with Patrick about their various qualities and characteristics of my boys then Patrick set about painting them.
The results were fantastic. I wanted the paintings to be finished their birthdays and Patrick delivered bang on time.
Can't wait for my next painting !!
Birthday Treat Art Lesson
I decided to do something different and a little special for my Nan on her 82nd birthday, my nan is super creative and often paints things (like a tree in her garden - yes she painted the actual tree!), so I booked a painting session with Patrick for Nan and I.
It was fantastic, very hands-on. The experience was paced perfectly. Patrick knew where to start, when to move on and when to reflect.
He taught us some valuable lessons, in painting, creativity and in life! I would highly recommend booking Patrick for your painting lesson, creative guidance and high-art experience today!
Very grateful for the memories and the art we created, that we now have to cherish.
The Three Presidents - A triple commission
I commissioned Patrick to paint portraits of the three founding Presidents of our Buddhist organisation. Patrick kept me informed as to progress and put all his effort into bringing out the informal characteristics I was after in these paintings.. Knowing nothing about art, It was an insightful experience for me, hearing how he chose the materials and formed the images in his mind. I am in the process of hanging the paintings and they are looking good. Yes.
