Gillian Cooke

Biography

Hi. I am Gill and returned to Orkney in 2020 after living in Spain for ten years. I started painting in 2010 as a serious hobby. Lost my mojo 2017 to health issues but now getting back into the swing! I have found myself gravitating to acrylics as love the vibrancy of colour but started with watercolour. I am currently doing a lot of sketching as never felt comfortable drawing! Practice is the key! Recently discovered that I enjoy painting seascapes and using ink line and wash for local scenes.
