TIM SAYS:
I enjoy the diversity that art brings. Drawing plays a large part in what I do and I’m a big believer in keeping a sketchbook, both as a means of recording fleeting elements within my surroundings and as a device that can be used to further develop artwork. This enables you to quickly capture the scene on location in line and watercolour.
As part of the painting process, I tend to avoid too much realism, focussing more on the effect of light, shadow, texture and lost edges, with my work leaning more towards impressionism and colour.
I have worked in the Norfolk area for many years and find that this wonderful area provides some of the greatest themes for the artist. There can be no greater joy than capturing the evocative mood of the constantly changing Norfolk skies.
I have been a tutor for Big Sky Art courses since 2019, capturing the moment in sketches and watercolour en plein air. It is a superb setting for art courses, with many painting locations close by, and the White House providing luxury accommodation and delicious food.
