Guest Artist Archive – Rob Candy 2022

Born Melbourne, Rob began painting watercolours at Ku-ring-gai Arts Centre during the 1980’s with Owen Thompson, and at the Royal Art Society of New South Wales with Frederic Bates OAM.  He has a degree in Geography and this informs his analysis of and appreciation for the landscape.

Rob visited Normandy in France in 2003, and this experience led to his solo exhibition with the theme of the fisherman of Honfleur, France.

He has been a featured artist in the Australian Artist magazine(October 1996, June 2002, September 2004 and November 2005).  The most recent of these essays examined his painting from Tuscany.

This demonstration was recorded in February 2022 on the ZOOM platform. Rob discusses his technique of painting emphasizing his drawing and painting theory. He will walk you through various watercolor washes and how to create atmosphere painting a scene of St. Ives in Cornwall similar to the photo below.
