Ben Ark – Mixed Media Artist based in Salford

Ben’s style deliberately slips from precise photorealistic detail to less defined washes of colour. He uses a balance of detail, symmetry and movement to create artworks largely featuring contemporary landscapes and urban culture in the North West of England.

Janet Kenyon is a multi-award winning water colour artist hailing from Bolton, in North West England.

She began experimenting in water colour whilst studying for her degree at Leeds Polytechnic, where she achieved a BA Hons in Graphic Design.

Her experimental approach continues to push the boundaries of this medium, capturing both natural and artificial light and its interaction with the landscape.

In this post I want to show off her work from my neck of the woods ..... 'sunny' Manchester, and the rather grim, rundown seaside town of Blackpool, famous for its 'Illuminations' where the seafront is decorated with festive lights....

I enjoy the challenge of painting in watercolour because it's not the easiest of mediums, there's a lot of trial and error which makes it all the more rewarding when it does work out..... source

[She] is interested in capturing those hidden moments of tranquility or ‘pockets of space‘ .....that exist within the hustle and bustle of a modern-day city.... source

'In my paintings I love to explore the different qualities of light, and through much experimenting over the years, I’m still developing my technique. The method I use to capture light, in my paintings, is the same whether it’s natural or artificial and is made up of many watercolour layers. To achieve this I use clear wax to mask off certain areas and lots of water and repeat this many times over. The highlights in my daytime scenes and the artificial lights in my night time scenes are the first areas to be masked off, then the process of applying and removing the watercolour starts.' source

'....I particularly love the challenge I get from painting cityscapes, the shapes, structures and the space between with each city presenting it’s own unique qualities of scale and layout.' source

'There’s still so many cities I’d like to paint one of them being the city of Reykjavik, Iceland which I’m visiting at the end of February, for a few days: hopefully the light will be good as I’m looking to gather as much information as I can for future paintings.' source

....and not forgetting our own Aurora Borealis of The North, Blackpool!!
