Hey bazza,
I like the gouache style of painting by Alan Tyers, very much, indeed.
And yay, I've been to Padstow.
Hi Gary. I've not been to Padstow but I understand that it's a lovely place. Alan's painting certainly make it look that way.
Hot from the desk of the fabulous Sir Tom Eagerly:
Hello Bazza old thing. I think he saw some of those colours in his head. Maybe he had a drink or three!
Cheers Bazza.
Hello Sir Tom Long time no hear. Have you been drying out? Again.
Hi Bazza. Tyers is something else. Love his technique and the colour blends really sync.
There are so many I could choose as favourites, yet these three say it all for me: Mevgissey, Swanage, and Winter Shadows.
Very nice. Thank you.
Dixie: Ah, you clicked through to have a look at more of his stuff. I'm glad you like it. Swanage is one of my (many) favourite places on the south coast of England. I think it's officially the sunniest place in Britain.
Actually, Bazza, I was going through some old books and materials from "The Paris School Of Art." I was made notes about the artists and works I enjoyed most.
Now I'm going to click on your link!!
Dixie: That gallery has lots of good artists on it's books. You will have to search for Tyers..... but I suppose you will have already done that!
He manages to get a very convincing three dimensional effect with apparently simple means. Thanks for introducing him Bazza.
They remind me of screen prints,my degree was Fine Prints so I'm not just talking bollocks lol. Well I am, but I'm backing it up with a random fact. I like the colour scheme on some of them.
Hi Rob. I'm not sure why this painting works so well. I think it's the draughtsmanship and use of colour. He certainly has a way of simplifying his subjects that I like.
AC: I did Art History (which became highly theoretical and a bit boring in places!). I have always enjoyed good poster art. I don't know if you clicked through to look at the old London Transport posters but you can see some similarity.
Bollocks backed up by random facts; I like it!
I love how Tyers has broken down the images to basic shapes and colours, which in my opinion is very effective - especially in the Padstow painting. Some of the darkest tones however, do look a little on the harsh side.
Hi Frank. Thanks for commenting. I agree about the harshness of some of the darker colours but I think it is a part of what makes the sunlight seem so bright!
