Kevin Scully

Kevin trained at Wimbledon School of Art and began his career as a scenic artist in the theatre and television. He then worked for many years as a successful illustrator in advertising and publishing, based in several London art and design studios. His commercial experience has enabled him to be able to work in a diverse number of mediums, but he now paints primarily in watercolour, oils, and pastels. He produces paintings that are mainly figurative, but at the same time strives to create a sense of the enigmatic and evocative. The subject matter is varied, and he focuses on choosing the less obvious viewpoints whilst avoiding the clichéd and overstated. Mood and atmosphere are his primary concerns whilst eliminating as much unnecessary detail as possible. The work he produces is predominantly painted en plein air and is often used as the basis for larger studio-based works.
He tutors on painting holidays at home and abroad and runs regular art courses and workshops in the UK. He has led groups of painters to Spain, Portugal, France, Greece, Morocco, India, Crete, Gozo, Turkey, and Italy.
He teaches drawing and painting in watercolours, oils, pastels, and acrylics. He has National Diplomas in Art & Design, Calligraphy, RHS Garden Design, and a 'City & Guilds Teaching Certificate'.
He currently teaches ‘Drawing and Painting in Watercolour’ at The Sunningwell School of Art near Oxford, and workshops at The Cornwall School of Art, City Arts Newbury, Ardington School of Arts and Crafts, and The Bullclough Art School.
He writes regular articles for The Artist, and Artists & Illustrators magazines and is the author of several books on painting for The Crowood Press, including Still Life in Gouache, Drawing and Painting on Location, and Painting Landscapes.
