John Trotman

Biography

I am a retired graphic designer and in 2015 began watercolour painting and line and wash illustrations. I enjoy architectural subjects as well as anything involving boats. I live quite close to the Grand Union Canal, so many of my paintings are canal scenes. I carry a sketchbook wherever I go and often use sketches as the basis of a composition. I was fortunate to join a class with an excellent tutor shortly after I began and he has been a major influence in forming my technique.
