In this presentation Paul will paint a scene inspired by the often overlooked salt marsh landscape. These seemingly prosaic environments are a ripe subject for abstract experimentation with their mosaic of creeks and isolated structures. During the session Paul will demonstrate his ideas around composition using shapes and layers, and he will also explain how salt marsh terrain influenced his semi-abstract approach to rendering the landscape.

Since he was a child, Paul Bailey has been fascinated by the varied wild, remote, and areas of Britain, be it moorland, mountain or coastal low-land. Inspired by this deep passion for the British landscape, Bailey fuses his memories, helped by sketches and photos, with vivid colors and dynamic brushstrokes, to produce sometimes ethereal interpretations of the diverse, subtle, and dramatic scenery within these great isles.
Almost completely self-taught, Paul learned through books, by visiting galleries and by viewing work by other artists. He enjoys a wide variety of art genres, from Turner to Rothko.
In Paul’s own approach to his art, he looks for the abstract forms in nature, breaking the complex down to more basic elements.
