"The artist...is also a born adventurer. His explorations, unlike those of a tourist, are rewarded by the discovery of beauty spots unmentioned in the guide books, and with tireless curiosity and an exceptional proneness to wonderment, he will come upon objects of remarkable interest overlooked or even shunned by more disciplined observers."
Augustus John, R.A.

Reduction Linocut colours 6,7 and 8
Three more colours printed and we are nearly finished with this print. Firstly a dark grey for the castle walls and shoreline rocks.
The a mid green colour
Before printing a darker green. One more colour to go now.
I studied illustration at Dyfed College of Art, Carmarthen, graduating in 1984. The works shown on this site are based on observations and drawings made directly from life in the field. The field sketches are mostly drawn using a Rotring Art Pen or a soft 6B pencil. The finished studio pieces are generally linocuts but I have recently started working with drypoints and mezzotints. Further information and more examples of my artwork can be found by following the link below to my website.
"Observation of nature is part of an artist's life, it enlarges his form and knowledge, keeps him fresh and from working only by formula, and feeds inspiration." Henry Moore.
On Drawing
"For me drawing is the basis of all visual language, for the art of drawing is a way of seeing and celebrating the world." Professor Ken Howard, R.A.

Fabulously complex - thanks for sharing
Hi Stuart, I can walk from my door and see your view in about five minutes! The castle is about a mile and a half north of me...
Hi Stewart
Thought from reading your blog that you lived somewhere near.
