Peter Quinn in Arts & Illustrators Magazine - December 2021
The Royal Watercolour Society member tells Steve Pill his tips for drawing complex subjects, balancing bold colours, and suggesting details in just a few simple marks
Our current Peter Quinn exhibition, Voyages, runs from 15th October - 20th November 2021.
Peter Quinn paints watercolour subjects that he finds on his travels. Attracted to the urban and the out-of-the-way, his paintings offer a brightly-coloured and personal response. Peter carries sketchbooks and a camera on his explorations. Often the subject presents itself immediately: a busy boat yard, an elegant avenue, a jumble of pots and plants on a doorstep or a packed shop display. Peter's watercolours are produced back in his studio in Newcastle: pencil drawings followed by an admittedly haphazard and occasionally experimental painting technique.
