Alan Joel has been trained in a rather
different way. No Art school in his case . He gained
his knowledge by means of 1 to 1 sesions for some
years with Dennis Syrett (currently the President
of the ROI 0 and with Ken Paine (probably the top
Portrait Artist in the UK) Ken teaches in all Media
and The french Pastel society pays hisd expenses and
£1,000 for one lecture so he is unorthodox and
is appreciated in his lifetime by other artists. A
very stimulating and very expensive way to gain Knowledge
and great fun. Mainly he works in Pastel and oils.
He has a wide range of subjects.
