Martin Dru

After many years without touching a paintbrush, I started sketching and painting watercolours in 2018 under the tutorship of Susan Cunningham at Bucks Adult Learning.

She also introduced me to acrylics, which I love. The following year I took a course at CityLit in London, where Amanda Knight helped me develop my acrylic skills further. In addition to ongoing learning through critique from my colleagues at WWAG, I have taken courses with world-class artists Hashim Akib and Jan Munro. Some artists have a set style but I like to paint in a range of ways…the choice of beautiful subjects and good composition always being the most important first step. I hope you enjoy my work, and that my pieces reflect some of the pleasure I had painting them.
