Patrick Gibbs was born in London in 1959. He says that his art career started promisingly when he won a pencil-case in a primary school painting competition. He later studied at The Ruskin School of Drawing and Magdalen College, Oxford where, despite the best efforts of the tutors to turn him into an Abstract Expressionist painter, he painted mostly portraits and figures.
After university Patrick lived in Germany for a year, working on building sites and teaching English, before deciding that he wanted to be a painter. He bought an old van, filled it with art materials and spent the next few years driving around Europe teaching himself to paint landscapes. The highlight of Patrick’s travels was a year spent in Tarquinia, a beautiful medieval village north of Rome. Here he devoted himself to painting almost everything he saw financing his time by drawing street portraits.
Back in London, after a brief spell of teaching Art in schools, Patrick decided to paint full time. Since then he has become known for his carefully observed and emotive paintings. Inspiration for his paintings comes from his extensive travels around the world. He excels at painting everyday scenes in exotic places such as Cuba, Madagascar, Kerala or Zanzibar, but he is also an accomplished painter of portraits and landscapes. He paints whatever inspires him and the result is a collection of artwork of outstanding quality and variety.
Patrick has a large following of loyal art collectors always vying for his work and he has exhibited in many of England’s leading art galleries as well as many galleries in America.

Born in 1947, Gerald Green gained a Diploma in Architecture at Leicester Polytechnic. In 1987 he gave up this career to become a full-time Artist and Illustrator and rapidly gained a reputation as one of the UK’s leading Architectural Illustrators, numbering several major national and international companies among his many clients. At this time he also served as Vice President of The Society of Architectural Illustrators and as a Director of The Free Painters and Sculptors Group in London.
Now devoting himself entirely to painting his work has been shown in numerous public and private galleries in the UK together with various Society Shows at the Mall Galleries, London. He has been a finalist in several national arts competitions including The Singer and Friedlander/ Sunday Times Watercolour Competition, The Laing and Not The Turner Prize exhibitions. His considerable ability with both oil and watercolour exploits the spontaneity of the medium in order to catch the essence of his subjects, using light as the catalyst.
For many years Gerald has been a regular contributor to arts magazines, including The Artist and International Artist. His new book The Artists Essential Guide to Watercolour is his first solo publication.
DAVID HOWELL PPRSMA
Born in 1939 and working from his studio in North Yorkshire, David has been a regular exhibitor with the Wykeham Gallery for many years. His paintings are primarily of landscape and marine subjects, but he is also well known for his equestrian racing pictures. He works in watercolour, oils and pastels.
David has exhibited widely in galleries nationally and internationally with both one-man and mixed shows, including at the Royal West of England Academy, the Royal College of Art, the RI and the Royal Society of Marine Artists and his work hangs in corporate and private collections worldwide.
David’s approach to painting is very much concerned with capturing atmosphere and a sense of time and place, with an emphasis on producing good paintings rather than topographical accuracy. He works outside as much as possible and travels extensively. He is equally likely to be seen standing with a sketchbook on the North York Moors, as to be found sitting by a canal in Venice or dragging an easel through the Arabian Desert.
David is a past President of the Royal Society of Marine Artists and has been a member of the Society of Equestrian Artists. His book ‘Painting with Watercolour’ joined the previously released ‘Painting with Oils’ both have been published by Crowood Press and are best sellers for both students, aspiring painters and enthusiasts. David also writes articles for magazines, appears on APV Film’s DVD ‘Just Watercolour’ and is a popular tutor on a limited number of painting courses both in this country and in Europe.
