TREVOR SENIOR

Trevor Senior, from Tarvin, likes to have a different view: a “not-so-obvious” take on subjects. “I try to show a familiar yet fresh artistic view,” the self-taught artist says. Most of his artwork is painted with acrylic, but he sometimes dabbles with oils, too.

And when he’s not painting local subjects, he works on commissions of pop art and landscape scenes, from travels both home and abroad.

“Inspiration can come from anywhere at any time. I could be walking down the canal in Chester and see a tree turning the autumn colours, so I’d take a photo and work from there.

So what style am I? I’m whatever follows my brush strokes and how my imagination is that day.”

IAN FENNELLY

Urban sketcher Ian Fennelly describes himself as an artist “who makes art in a busy location while looking at buildings and street furniture.”

He begins each work with a watercolour wash to break up the space, establishing the shapes of his composition – “an emotional part of the process,” he says, because of the colour. He then takes brush pens to add depth and tonal value, before using liner makers to add texture and detail.
