Martyn Chamberlin is budding artist who first brushed paint-by-number acrylics in his childhood. After a friend encouraged him to break away into “freestyle” painting in oils, he became a true artist.
After studying with various teachers, Martyn discovered the freedom of plain air painting, or painting outdoors. He feels that the opportunity to study directly from nature is the best way to paint. Martyn frequently paints outdoors regardless of the weather – rain or shine, hot or cold. While he invariably touches up his sketches and pursues larger studio work, the inspiration of the outdoors continues to motivate and influence his work.
Martyn’s technique involves a blending of various techniques from the masters and Impressionists. He believes that the best of art lies between a mixture of photo-realism and abstract dexterity.
Martyn aspires to be full-time painter and teacher in the near future. He is currently represented in the Zantman Gallery in Carmel, California. Subscribe for free for to get email updates of Martyn’s latest works.
