Will Elliston

I'm a British artist living in Barcelona. Born in the English countryside I have always been interested in painting and drawing. After receiving a first class degree in digital illustration, I returned to traditional mediums, specifically watercolour. Painting first by self-teaching, then receiving lessons from the greatest masters in watercolour.
Watercolour is the medium that best expresses my vision. The effects achieved from this glorious medium forever surprise and inspire me.
The subjects I like to paint are spontaneous but usually come through places I’ve been travelling.
In the beginning of my profession I specialised in wildlife, but in recent years I’ve found street scenes give great opportunity to capture to magic of watercolour.
I currently live and work in Barcelona.
