Maureen K

Artists Profile October 2007

Name: Norman Cattell

Age Group: 74 and proud of it!

Years of Experience: About 12 years



 

 

Favourite Media: Watercolour and a bit of acrylic.

Preferred Subjects: I like copying other paintings as you get to appreciate other peoples' work and begin to think like they would.

Favourite Painter: Norman Rockwell who is an american artist; who used to do illustrations for the Saturday Evening Post. He has a museum in Massachusetts, although I have not been, I have read most of his books. I remember being able to get a copy of the paper during the war, because my neighbour worked at W.H. Smiths and handled the papers for the US troops stationed here, so we were given copies of them.

Top Tips: When doing watercolour, try not to use too much pigment, use plenty of water, as it gives it a better watercolour effect.

Inspiration: I never really know. Perhaps a painting that is going well inspires me and I start to like what I am doing. One out of four inspire me and the rest go in the bin.
