Keith Evans Art
I am an artist and tutor based in Wrexham, North Wales. I have been painting and drawing since I was old enough to hold a crayon and have no intention to ever stop.
Here is a selection of my 'off the shelf' works. They are mainly landscapes, as that is my favourite subject. There are more in the shop section. All pieces are for sale and individually priced.
A little about Me....
Iin the sixty years that I have been painting I have experimented with most mediums and subjects. I have got that exprimentation out of my system now, and concentrate on representational, impressionistic work.
I have two preferred subjects; Landscape and animals. Most of my landscapes are of my beloved North Wales as I prefer to paint places I know well and, at the risk of sounding arty-farty, have a 'feel' for. As I grow older, having retired from the day job,I tend to travel less far and spend my summers pottering about in my campervan painting within a couple of hours of home. I rarely manage to get up to Scotland any more, much less the beautiful Charente valley in Southwestern France, where we holidayed for several years.
I have always been a keen photographer and I have a huge archive of landscape photos which I can work from. Just looking at them takes me back to the moment. I am also an experienced tutor. I rarely hold face-to face workshops these days; these days I tend to concentrate on teaching through video. The link to my YouTube channel is below.
My Motivation
As my work has developed, I have concentrated more on trying to capture something of the character of the landscape as well as its topography. As a result, many of my titles are weather orientated. One thing you can't ignore in North Wales is the weather. We often experience all four seasons in one day - especially in the high country of Snowdonia. Sadly, my days of clambering up mountains are long gone, but the memories linger on. My artistic roots are Impressionistic. I love the work of Robert Wood, Pissarro and the French Impressionist movement. I try to recapture those fleeting moments when I pressed the shutter on my camera or stood on the shore with the breeze in my face!
