Carol Mountford
Carol loves painting cities - especially New York, London and Venice, trying to capture the atmosphere of the places.
New York has so much energy and vitality that once the outline of the painting is done it seems to take on a life of its own, with bright lights contrasting with dark shadows, people hustling about, and cars and cabs rushing.
Carol says, "New York is about the only cityscape you can't 'overdo', as the more pattern and splashes of paint and colour the better."
London has a more subdued energy with its dark buildings with small areas of bright lights, whilst Venice is all about mystery and atmosphere.
Carol paints in watercolour and gouache with dashes of pastel. She started to paint with arche watercolour rough paper, progressing to bockingford and now Carol uses Fabriano HP paper. This is quite a tricky paper to use but Carol loves the unpredictability of the results with paint flowing freely on the smooth paper.

Artists who inspire her are the impressionists and Bernhard Vogel, loving his collage work with different textures and newspaper print making up his cityscapes.
Carol sells in local exhibitions, winning several awards and has been featured in 'Artist and Illustrators' magazine and 'International Artist' magazine. Her art has also been used for greeting cards.
