Ian Woodhouse Profile

Ian started painting as a hobby in about 1986 and in 1993 joined the S.A.A. (Society for All Artists) and then attended a Drawing and Painting course at Selby College in 1996/7.

He paints in watercolour, acrylic and gouache as well as sometimes using pastels and oil paints.
He also likes to use acrylic ink with an air brush to create an out of focus background evident in some of the following paintings.

His favourite subjects to paint are bird and figures , landscapes with buildings and trees as well as boats and coastal scenery , mostly painted whilst on holiday.

Ian has won prizes at local art and craft festivals for many years and will have some on show at this years Cawood festival over the bank holiday weekend.

On retiring in 2008 Ian joined Monk Fryston art club.
