My work is about my love of the British landscape. Energetic, emotional and colourful gestures capture the light and drama of the views I paint.
My name is Ann Marie Whitton I have been drawing and painting all my life. I have attended many art courses based at Oaklands College and The University of Hertfordshire. I recently went to Newlyn School of Art, Cornwall for a week of landscape painting, and it changed the way I work.
I love walking outdoors sketching and playing with materials on paper, to make spontaneous pictures of the landscape. During lock down my main focus has been creating work based on Woodcock Hill, Sandridge, Jersey Farm Woodland Park and the Heartwood Forest area of St Albans. I experiment with mark making using inks, acrylic paints, pencils, watercolour paints and oil pastels. Most of my work is on paper as I love the absorbent surface to make many marks. I have works for sale on my website and in my Ebay shop.
