Rupert Sutton

Born in 1946. In Orpington, Kent, England.After many years in the creative business of advertising, I now live and work in Greece as an artist and gallery owner.
I also have a studio and offer lessons to beginners and intermediates.
My other hobby or skill is in music, specialising in guitar.My art stemmed from my love of drawings and cartoons. As I moved into the world of painting (in oils), the Impressionists made the greatest impact on me.Now I paint in acrylics, for the sake of ease of aplication and speed, and combine these influences to produce pictures of landscapes, buildings, and female form studies.
Nevertheless, I still maintain a sense of humour concerning my images, and often return to pencil-sketch cartoons, both of people, situations and animals.

My early education encompassed the world of languages: French, German and Latin. Further education was on the creative side of advertising, writing for TV, Press and posters, in the UK and abroad.My painting skills have come from my own studies and practice (not from art school).In my lifetime,I have also worked and lived in China and Greece. Now I reside in Greece,
