Brian Halton

Artistic background

Hello Im Brian Halton and for the last 30 years I have lived in the wilds of West Yorkshire where I have a small, modest studio/gallery.

I find inspiration in most subjects – landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes, sport, animals etc .

I use a variety of materials, oils, acrylics, watercolour and mixed media but work primarily in pastel on sanded board.

Pastels suit the way I work – I can get intricate detail or expressive movement, huge choice of colours, no drying time, no cleaning, will never fade or crack and working on a sanded board they really bite into the surface. They are easy to transport and also photograph brilliantly for future prints.
