Gary Souter

Gary Souter is a watercolour painter living and working in Grimscote (a small village near Towcester in the heart of England. Painting mainly landscapes in watercolour (with touches of gouache when needed) his style borders realism and expressionism.

Due to increasing work and family commitments, and a demanding garden, Gary hadn’t painted much at all since schooldays but during the first lockdown (and working from home) used the time saved commuting to start drawing and painting again from his garden studio.

Gary originally trained as a graphic designer at Nene School of Art and Design in Northampton and has now been in the design business for over 40 years.
