John Inkson has a spontaneous approach to painting, letting the scene speak to him and reacting to the situation as it develops. His painting equipment is less haphazard, however, as much of it is bespoke and all carefully designed to suit his needs so that he is free to work in any situation. Here John explains how he captured this sunny scene at Freshwater Bay, working out on location with his converted pochade box and homemade pastels.

Graphic design, ceramics, silkscreen printing, ceramic modelling, digital painting and crafts have all been part of John’s all-round approach to making art. He completed a foundation course in art, before moving on to Cardiff University to study graphic design. John describes his approach to art as: “letting the art show me the way. That way you will discover how to set about your work and avoid artists’ block.” John is dedicated to his painting, describing his home as being covered from floor to ceiling with his own and other artists’ paintings.
