Michael Street

As a self-taught artist, I began to explore watercolour as a medium in 2001, with most works then being seascapes. On moving to West Devon and the Tamar Valley in 2006 I was inspired by the wonderfully wild and atmospheric landscapes of

I was Hugely encouraged by my watercolourist friend the late Ian Heard, my style with watercolour has always been to create highly representational landscape paintings in which I aim to capture the fabulous changing colours, tones and textures of the Dartmoor landscape and our rocky shores.

I try to capture the intricate play of light and cloud shadows, to show the beauty and structure of the wild moorland, the coast and the river. I like to think that viewers can become part of the painted landscape before them, feeling that they could step into it to enjoy the same sense of wide open space, beauty, wilderness and peace that I feel when immersed in Dartmoor.

More recently I have begun to adapt my techniques to the use of oil paints, enjoying a new challenge.
