Art Blog from Cornwall

If you've ever wondered what it's like to be a Cornwall artist, wonder no more! In this blog post,Cornish artist John Dyer takes us through a typical day as an artist living and working in Cornwall and his history.Gain a glimpse into the kinds of things artists do, their training and the work that goes into being an artist in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. 
Throughout art history, the beach and sea have been popular subjects for painters worldwide. The beauty and character of seaside towns and villages have been depicted over the years by many artists - from the French Impressionists and post-impressionists on the southern coast of France, Normandy and Pont Aven in Brittany, to the Newlyn School of Painters in Cornwall in the southwest of England. From Claude Monet, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso to JMW Turner and the Newlyn School of painters, the beach has been a source of inspiration. In this blog, we will look at some of our favourite paintings of the beach.
