Welsh Artist

Peter Morgan

Peter is a self-taught artist and has been painting seriously since 1994. He is particularly well known for his colourful palette, working mainly in acrylics using various techniques including glazing, impasto and direct painting. Painting buildings has always been at the heart of his drawing and paintings. Peter works directly from the environment, often revisiting places and in ever-changing weather and seasons.

’My work has become a direct response to the ever-changing light, often changing with the weather. Changing my palette with mood and nature, from the black and brown hues of winter to the yellows and ochre of autumn. More so the bright and fresh greens, yellows and clear blue skies of springtime have special appeal in my working year. The beginning of my paintings is often a quick sketch or snapshot. A few quick lines filled with colour help bring to life the experience of being at that place and finished with a pen line. This is a technique developed during my studies from my college days. I often revisit places walking in different directions as the image changes and I see a new viewpoint. There is always something to paint, but finding the image gives me the inspiration to find others.’
