Introduction
CHRIS EMSLEY
Hello, and thank you for taking a look at my website.
I live in Kenilworth and create my paintings at home in my studio. I was not art-trained and, in fact, did not start painting until I retired when I joined a local art class and literally started from the beginning!
I am inspired by photographs of places, people and life, and I have discovered that I most enjoy painting in acrylic with my palette knife. I find that this gives a slightly broken effect to the strokes which I find difficult to achieve with brushes. However, I also paint in watercolour and often take this medium on holiday as I can pack everything I need into one bag!
I attend Warwickshire College where I am continually inspired and encouraged by the wonderful artists and tutors in the group.
I am hoping to take part in Art in the Park in August 2023, in Jephson Gardens, Leamington Spa.
I took part in Warwickshire Open Studios 2022 in June and July.
I hope you will enjoy looking at my work. There are pictures of various sizes and in different media and framing is available, along with prints and greetings cards – orders being taken!
