He was educated in Southport and Warrington and then went to Paris on a Lancashire County Council Scholarship to study at the Academie Julian for three years, followed by and one and a half years in Italy. He took up art full time at the age of 23 and almost immediately he began exhibiting at the Royal Academy, the Royal Cambrian Academy, the Paris Salon and other prestigious institutions. He was elected to the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colors in 1916, the Royal Cambrian Academy 1924, and the Royal British Institute in1925.

Garside lived at 1 White Hart Lane, London and then in Barnes. He died on 10th December 1942. Garside was renowned for his innovative use of mixed media, generally a combination of watercolor, gouache, oil paint and gum Arabic. He painted very widely in Britain, particularly in Lancashire and Cheshire, and also in Holland. His work is in several public collections. © Big Sky Fine Art This original watercolor shows a charming pastoral scene, in the Victorian English countryside. There is a figure, a farmer, wearing cream trousers, a blue jacket and a hat. He has a white beard. He is guiding two bullocks, or young male cows, who are pulling a basic wooden plough. One of the bullocks is black with a white face, the other is white with small black markings. Both have horns. The ground is rough and hard, with stones and one imagines that the going is tough and this man is but eking out a living.
