JamesPotterart I am a Fine Artist based in Swansea. I paint in Oil paint and am open for commissions. I paint in various sizes and welcome commissions of any kind. James

I have been painting for many years and have settled into the medium of oil paint with the occasional image rendered digitally. I enjoy painting all subjects, but seem to mainly paint portraits of humans and animals and beach scenes in landscape. Visit my website and send me some details to get started.

Start of a new beach painting. I like to have an interesting sky in my painting, not just a plain blue.

A bit about me

I suffer from anxiety and have done so from 12 years old. This can be extremely difficult in social situations and in certain environments I felt overwhelmed and worthless. I found art and painting to be very calming and also empowering. It is what makes me feel confident and happy. I hope you as the viewer feel happy too.

I have been painting for many years and have settled into the medium of oil paint with the occasional image rendered digitally. I enjoy painting all subjects and have a particular love for beach scenes and forests. I more recently developed a fascination for Koi carp, their graceful movement I find mesmerising.

I paint in an impressionistic style, aiming to create deliberate strokes that capture the form and fall of light. I paint my water and sea ‘wet into wet’ to create a more natural flow, whilst the placing of colour next to each other with no blending creates a vivid clarity.

I welcome commissions of any kind so please contact me for more information. James
