About Your Tutor: Susan Webb

Your tutor, Susan Webb, has 45 years experience tutoring in the Irish School of Landscape Painting, which was founded by her parents in 1957. She has taught a wide range of ages – from children to those in their 90s – with a wide range of ability levels. She genuinely loves leading these groups, gaining much from the camaraderie and idea-exchange that is generated.

Susan is a most accomplished artist herself. She is represented in London by Gladwell and Patterson, in Galway by Kennys Art Gallery, in Clifden by Whitethorns Art Gallery, and in Dublin by the Trinity Gallery. She is known for a variety of landscapes, seascapes, flower paintings, as well as for her equestrian work.

Media Experience: Susan was the art experts for Ireland on Channel 4’s Watercolour Challenge in the 1990s. This experience helped her transition the school to advanced online classes during the pandemic, utilizing green screens and multiple camera angles to support students remotely.

The Irish School of Landscape Painting has been teaching Art for over 65 years for all levels from beginner to professional. Kenneth Webb, the founder, still has an active hand even at almost 99 years of age, although his daughter Susan now does most of the teaching.
