Cecil studied Fine Art Painting at Brighton College of Art in the eighties and

has painted professionally ever since with seascapes and landscapes being

his main preoccupation.

Watercolour was his first passion. He was given a box of artist's colours at

the age of thirteen by his father. The purity of the colours was hypnotic

and he loved the beauty that could be produced. His other passion was oil

painting with its power, richness and texture and more recently acrylic

too.

Cecil is an experienced art tutor and demonstrator and has a wealth of

knowledge on art techniques and art history. His teaching is delivered in

his inimitable engaging style and he can enable artists of all abilities to

improve their paintings.

He is fascinated with the play of light on various objects and surfaces in the landscape especially water. His paintings are

lively, colourful and full of life. He loves sharing his enthusiasm for painting with other artists. He has led regular painting

classes and workshops in the South of England and taught on residential painting holidays in the UK and abroad.

His paintings have been featured in BBC Countryfile, the Independent newspaper, Echappees Belles for French TV, The

Artist magazine. He has illustrated two books including the Colour of Light.

He has exhibited regularly at art galleries in the UK and at exhibitions in London, Battersea Art fair, the Royal Academy

and many others. He work is widely sought after and collected.
