Claire Failes

I live in the bottom of North Nibley and my studio in my garden. My work mainly concentrates on the local landscape and is informed by my surroundings. I paint in acrylic on water colour paper or canvas. I sketch on the spot but paint in my studio.
My work is quite detailed I observe how fields, hills and the sky interact together. Composition is key and is carefully considered for each painting. I love the countryside all around me and in all its seasons bringing different colours and light into my work.
Over the last few months, I have been painting a series of woodland paintings. I have been inspired by the many walks during COVID-19. There will be 9 altogether and I intend there to be one print of all of them. This has been a slight diversion to my normal landscape work. Using canvases rather than paper and concentrating on woodland rather than the local fields and hills.
