Wendy Quinnell

I am a self taught artist and enjoy creating figurative art and landscapes. Mostly working in oil paints and pastels, I also love using new mediums. I have completed a Diploma in oil painting with award winner artist Martin Kinnear . I have enjoyed studying the work of famous painters and recreating them. Come and see me at my own studio, Art Studio Q.

These are my studies of “girl in a green dress” by Gwen John and “ old man” by Rembrandt. Using the same methods as the artist would have from ground to top glaze.

My study after Keith Vaughan using a limited palette.

Study after Raoul Dufy

Modelling example after “Old Duff” by Samuel Peploe

Impressionist studies

studies of techniques used by artist Bertha Morisot, the unsung female hero of Impressionism.

I’m half way through my course and am excited to be developing my own paintings style from all the knowledge I’m gaining. Follow me on social media to see my journey Instagram

I have taken part in the Sky Arts programme, Landscape Artist of the Year 2021 as a wildcard entry at Chartwell House in Kent.

I have produced many landscape paintings in oils using palette knives and brushes. It has been fun to paint in ‘plein air’ and be outside. Alongside this, I have produced a lot of work on reclaimed wood.
