WELCOME TO PETER BOWEN 
Peter Bowen R.G.D., BA, is an accomplished graphic designer and professional watercolour artist who lives in the beautiful Cathedral City of Wells in Somerset.
His unique style of painting architectural subjects with humorous situations has earned him an international reputation during the last 25 years with much of his work in private collections in Canada, the United States and Great Britain.
Ideas for pictures often start as a collection of ideas of things that I have seen and I create a composition in my mind that I think would work. "Often I start sketching directly on to watercolour paper with a fine pen, letting the lines do the work and form the framework of the picture". Colour elements follow and start to bring life to the work. Shading and tonal colour adds dimension to the framework of shapes.

NEW WATERCOLOUR PAINTINGS
by PETER BOWEN 2009
Light House No.2 - Watercolour 2009
This Light House Painting continues the lighthouse theme and exploring more shapes and architectural styles of lighthouse construction, this light house painting depicts an early attempt at building a lighthouse using wood to form a precarious tower which sways in the wind!
Early lighthouse construction saw many structures made from wood but the relentless seas quickly demolished those searly structures.
The title of this painting is Light House No.2 - presumable No. 1 was demolished by the sea!
I hope you enjoy this new light house painting for 2009 as much as I enjoyed creating it.
Beach Huts No.2 - Watercolour 2009
This painting is based on a collection of beach huts that I have seen in my travels and is typical of what you could see at almost any sandy beach in England.
I enjoy exploring more shapes and architectural styles of beach hut construction and I always include a washing line of 'whites' out to dry in the warm sunshine.
I hope you enjoy this new Beach Huts Painting for 2009 as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Clifton Wood, Bristol by Peter Bowen 2009 Watercolour 22" x 32"
This painting of Clifton Wood, Bristol was inspired while travelling into Bristol on the Park and Ride bus from Long Ashton, I saw this view up towards Clifton Wood and that was the idea for this painting.
I had a clear vision in my mind of what the painting should look like and I wanted to capture only the buildings themselves and not be concerned about the trees above and below the many different coloured houses.
I must admit I struggled to get the composition just right while capturing the essence of the structures and balance the many colours together so that there remained a freshness to the scene.
This painting is the first I have painted that is twice as large as I would normally paint, I wanted to capture the size and detail that the buildings deserved and did not forget the washing lines!
