Ted Sherwen

There has not been a time when I have not drawn, encouraged by my father in post war Glasgow.

 

Early training in the graphic arts honed a critical awareness of colour, shape and design.

 

Studied painting with Californian Rex Brandt 1978-89 his generosity and ongoing interest was of great benefit.

 

I choose to paint in any one of three overlapping styles, keeping my options open and maintaining an element of surprise for the viewer.   Palette selection varies for the same reason.   A sense of humour is vital.

 

I am constantly aware of the inherent beauty of watercolour pigment settling on top quality watercolour paper,  left alone it glows with an inner luminosity.

 

Do not be fooled by its tag ‘a simple medium’ in transparent watercolor simple is complex.
