About Ben

Spain…

Back in 1998, after 3 post-university years in London, I jumped on a Eurostar train to Paris, changed for the overnight train to Madrid, and started an exciting new life in a country I knew almost nothing about.

I still live in Madrid today, with my family, travelling to all corners of Spain from this wonderful central location.

Plein air painting…

I paint “plein air”, outdoors, capturing the beauty right in front of my eyes, something that has become a passion. I aim to finish these works in the field, or make small adjustments back in the studio.

If you are a plein air painter travelling to Madrid/Spain, let me know and perhaps we can get together to paint.

I record some of my painting adventures at my YouTube channel, Painting Spain
