Mainly a self taught artist and having no formal training in art apart from sitting GCE at school and passing O level, I paint mostly in oil paints or watercolour, being influenced by the french impressionists the Newlyn school and many individual artists past and present, I love to get out as often as is possible to paint En Plein air, as I believe that painting this way is the only way to really observe the true colours and nuances of nature.
When not painting or sketching and have the time, I love to read about the history of the artists and their art, and to view and study their work at exhibitions galleries and museums, and to try and understand their working practices.
We can never stop learning.
