Mandy Briars

I Paint and draw modern life, be it local scenes, city streets, landscapes and seascapes.

Artists that inspire me are Hernan Bas, Gauguin and Sir Stanley Spencer. Painters that use artificial colours in natural settings and soft smooth rounded figures, respectively.

When working I like to experiment with different techniques and effects, using acrylic, oil, chalk pastel, pencil, watercolour, or whatever I have at hand.
