Trevor Harwood

As a self-taught artist, I have painted since childhood exploring drawing, watercolour and oil painting. I discovered pastels later and this particular media lit a fire in me I had never experienced bringing a real urgency and vitality to my painting, releasing an energy I did not know I had.

Retiring early from 28 years in the "City" my once hobby became a new profession. Landscapes, seascapes and townscapes have since become my forte. My art materials travel with me everywhere and I enjoy capturing local scenes working "en plein air" whenever I can. I have been a prizewinner at several national competitions and now promote for the Society for All Artists. I enjoy several approaches to my art depending on my mood. From a traditional style, to a semi-abstract "fragmented" style. I believe art and all its forms should be fun and try to instil an essence of this into all my tutoring.

I undertake commissions and also teach workshops for all ages from my purpose-built studio, give demonstrations, workshops and talks and teach local art groups on all three approaches and in any media although I still favour pastels at present.
