Willow Trees, River Stour, Dedham

Barry Lowenhoff | Charcoal and watercolour | 13 x 20 inches

I am most attracted to landscape subjects from rural East Anglia, Wales, Scotland and Southern Ireland which I execute in a figurative way. The scenes I choose often speak to me as containing directional forces of energy which I interpret via relatively large, gestural brush strokes which I lay down first (liquid charcoal and watercolour). Whilst seemingly unnecessary to the onlooker, these marks provide a structural dynamic which feeds my mark making process and wherever preserved, are allowed to counterbalance subsequent layers of finer drawing work in charcoal and pastel. Colour is often minimised in preference to bold, graphic, blacks, blues, browns, light greys and whites. I aim to create drama in my work.
