Ken is a practising artist living in North Wales where he has been working and exhibiting for the past fifteen years. His subject matter is mostly landscape or seascape.
He works in a variety of media the main one being oil paint where he enjoys it’s intensity of colour and mastic like qualities which enable him to apply the paint to the painting surface with brush, knife, fingers, or whatever tool seems appropriate to achieve a desired effect.
He also works in pure watercolour or sometimes adding other media to his watercolours such as pastel, charcoal and crayon on heavy watercolour papers.
I first started to paint with Stockport Art Guild of which I am an honorary member. Since moving to Wales, 20 years ago, I have been inspired by the beauty and diversity of the scenery, both inland and coastal. All though watercolour is my favourite medium I also enjoy using acrylic and pastel.
