Imogen Bone teaches on our Coast course and Tresco Painting Holidays.
"I work both within the landscape itself and in my studio, translating my immediate drawn response to the environment done en plain air into a more considered reflection of place in the studio. One discipline influences the other. The energy captured in the drawings helps maintain a spirit of place in the paintings and the skills honed in the studio allows me to work fluidly outside. I endeavour to keep freshness and freedom in my paintings but have them underpinned with accurately delineated realism.
The visual language depicted through brushstrokes and drawn lines is constantly evolving and I feel is reflective of the changing coastline. The same part of the coast that in one season can be tumbled boulders, wild seas and strong colours, the next season can be soft sand and tranquillity. The combined force of elements gives us this restless landscape."
