Steve Pratchett

I was trained in Art & Education at Trent Park College, London. I am currently working in the mediums of oil pastels and oil paints. “If painting seems to be the complete of all pictorial techniques, then pastel is certainly the most direct. No instrument as the brush, knife or palette interferes between the artist’s gesture and his work” (Goetz) My fascination has always been with light and shadow. I try to capture the drama and mood that light creates in a landscape or a still life.
