Alistair Butt’s paintings are principally of coastal and landscape scenes, with a distinctive feature of his work being the skilful way that he includes interesting detail yet without compromising the sense of mood and the special qualities of light. His style is true to the great traditions of British landscape painting, and indeed all his inspiration comes from subjects within the UK. “From Cornwall and Kent to Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales, each area provides an endless source of material for my paintings, and each has its own identity and feeling,” he says. |

Watercolor Painting Tips – Creating Textures in Watercolor
These watercolor painting tips are courtesy of Beth Mcrorie of EJM Studios.
Beth is an extremely talented watercolor artist. Her paintings are stunning, vibrant and full of color.
“Luminance, reflections, and color all attract me to my subjects. I see light dance through glass, or sparkle off a lemon, and I feel compelled to capture what I see with paint and paper. My art is my way emphasizing the beauty in the every day world around us, of asking the viewer to slow down long enough to enjoy the vibrancy of color in a flower or the brilliance of light streaming through crystal.”
