Ann Blockley is a renowned watercolour and mixed media artist with an individual style. developed over thirty years of professional painting. Her pictures are evocative, atmospheric and intuitive.
Her longstanding passion has been for flowers and nature, inspired by the gardens and countryside close to her Cotswold studio. Ann has a worldwide reputation for flower painting but her landscapes and animals are also collector’s items. She has written seven books on her painting methods covering many subjects.
In all her pictures, Ann uses painterly textures, marks and edge values, using watercolour especially in a loose and flowing style. She stretches the boundaries of the medium, sometimes working on a gesso surface to create unconventional textured images. She is continually exploring, experimenting and re-evaluating her work.
Although not teaching with us in 2012, Ann has tutored two very successful courses in 2011.
