Nicola Watson
I am inspired by the seascapes and landscapes where I draw with mixed media. Then in the studio I use my studies to inspire oil paintings mostly working on paper.
I have drawn and painted all my life. I grew up on a hilly sheep farm in the Peak District. The connection to the land provided solace and inspiration.
During my art degree I became interested in the landscapes ability to create different atmospheres – open moors, protective boulders, dark caves and looking through trees to light – then tried to convey this in my work.
I have always enjoyed being in the landscape and responding to it. But I often found the landscape overwhelming until I focused on specific areas. Spending longer studying in one place helped me concentrate on absorbing the particular characteristics through my senses. This helps me connect and respond to that place.
