Established landscape painter Terry Watts, has been a member of the prestigious Royal Society of British Artists since 2006. His fascination with landscapes was first explored through photography, after which he moved towards painting as a means of expression that could better capture the subtleties of color, texture and light.
Watts began his artistic studies at the Camberwell College of Art before moving to the Hammersmith College of Art, both based in London. Having gained a degree in the sciences followed by work in the field of education, he returned to the art world to work on large, sculptural landscape projects for the London Docklands Development Corporation, Merton Borough Council (home of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships) and British Gas. These commissions promoted a full-time move back toward the arts, at which point Watts began exhibiting in solo shows across England and joint shows in the United States, the Netherlands, Scotland and Ireland.
Though traditional in style and elementary in his choice of medium (acrylic paint on paper), Watts’s creations truly capture the starkness and majesty of the Great British countryside. Most notable are the clouds that crown the landscape. Like many esteemed British painters, this uncertain face of nature is of huge inspiration and Watts’s sublime representation of the ever-changing skies has seen him awarded various accolades, including Guest Prize at the Laing Landscape Competition, two first prizes at the London City Airport Competition, the Buzzacott Best Picture award at the Royal Institute and the Sunday Times Watercolour Competition.
