Hi, I’m Martin from England, I’ve had no formal training and learnt mostly from countless trips to galleries and libraries.

Thanks for all your comments, they are very encouraging.

I’ve always had a love of painting and started off like many kids making a mess with wax crayons on walls. I got told off for it too.

My earliest attempts were trees, just green blobs on a brown stick until someone pointed out that trees are more complex. I started adding branches and started to look at things as they appear and not so much how they should appear.

I believe that anyone can draw and paint, they just need to learn how to see. I’m still learning.

I work in a variety of media including pencil, pastel and acrylic paints. My favourite medium however is oils.

You’ll find an assortment of my creations here including some digital collages and the occasional photograph although I don’t consider myself a photographer.

Martin.
