Terry Watts RBA

Statement

Having first pursued my interest in landscape through photography and urban design, I have turned to landscape painting. This has led me to become a more analytical observer of many forces operating in the environment and our response to them.

Methodology

The paintings are usually wide perspective, preciously rendered, yet also contain freely created elements. I attempt to use composition and light to generate a twenty-first century perception within the continuing tradition of landscape painting. I never paint in the field but spend a high proportion of time exploring the landscape with my sketchbook and camera. For e the most creative part of the process is the assembly of a painting from he sometimes unconnected visual elements collected. Before beginning the painting phase, I usually have a fully worked drawing at full scale so that I can concentrate on light and colour. The painting medium is acrylic, on either card or canvas.
