Jim Barrie Scottish Artist
Jim Barrie | Scottish International Contemporary Artist
Known for colourful landscapes and seascapes inspired by the beautiful scenery of Scotland and from his travels around the world.
Working in oils and pigments my work varies in technique, some times brush work, pallet knife or colour shapers, some pictures use all three techniques.
My oil paintings are wide in variety and style however all my latest work is very much about blending imagination with vibrant colours.
My mindset is make your last oil painting your best painting, always going forward. Oil painting is simple learn from your errors as much as your brilliant moments and strive for perfectionism . Will I please everyone, impossible but those on my wavelength will get it.
How did I get here, I made it my mission to find who could actually paint really well and learnt all I could from them
Highly trained in the Verdaccio Method by Master Art Tutor Dennis Bannister at his Glasgow Studio, regarded by many as the best art studios in Glasgow
My more recent work is heavily influenced by International contemporary colourist John Damari Knight Protector who has graciously shared the techniques of the old masters learnt from his time at the Accademia d’Arte in Florence Italy.
