Artist Profile

Joe Cartwright

Joe is a multi-award winning watercolour artist living in Werrington County on the outskirts of Sydney. He paints in a fluid and spontaneous manner, which allows him to capture the mood and atmosphere of his subject with a style that encourages the viewer to involve themselves with his work. Watercolour is a wonderful medium for expressing these qualities. He covers a wide range of subjects from landscapes, town life, flowers, portraits and figures. Any subject can lead to an exciting work of art. Joe believes artists see the world with more intensity through active observation, so are able to show people something they may not have see or noticed. He is always looking for an interesting viewpoint which he can bring to his audience allowing them to connect more closely to the world around them. Joe teaches weekly watercolour classes and runs annual workshops. He has created a web site to support his students with demonstrations and useful articles on the subjects of watercolour and painting in general. This site also has a gallery of his work. The website address is www.paintingwithwatercolors.com. He has another general on-line gallery site at www.joecartwright.com.au
