Andrew Barrowman
Landscape painting in Cornwall, Andrew Barrowman paints en plein air and in the studio using oils as his chosen medium. He tries to convey the feeling and atmosphere of a landscape onto canvas for the viewer to have an idea of what it was like to be there. His paintings often start with ideas found whilst walking his dog. He usually carries a small sketch book with him, making quick sketches and colour notes. These will sometimes be developed into paintings.
“I love working outdoors when I get the opportunity. Painting by the sea, I often come home tasting the salt on my lips from the spray thrown into the air as the waves crash against the rocks.
I like to encourage people to paint in their own way, rather than like I do, but I help them
as they encounter difficulties with the application of the oil paints. I also advise on composition and colour mixing. On location I help them to look for interesting passages of light and shade contrasts rather than big views.”

Paint like an impressionist, learning to build lusciously layered oil paintings in a single sitting, inspired by the majesty of the Cornish coast. Artist Andrew Barrowman takes you to the landscapes and lookout points that have inspired the likes of JMW Turner, Wilhelmina Barns Graham and Peter Lanyon. As Lanyon once described: “It is impossible for me to make a painting which has no reference to the powerful environment in which I live."
