About Colin Palmer
Having completed his apprenticeship as a draughtsman, Colin decided he wanted to follow a more creative path. Thus he spent the next three years studying Architectural and Technical Illustration at art college in London.
After a career spanning some twenty years working in studios and agencies in and around London, Colin has settled in Marlborough, Wiltshire where he works from his studio/gallery shared with other artists.
Architectural perspectives
Working with architects, designers, property developers and publishers Colin produces accurate and detailed artists impressions for planning applications and marketing material.
Watercolour paintings
Following his commission to paint every building along Marlborough High Street, Colin’s original paintings and fine art limited edition prints have been in much demand. To view all art works and prints, together with their availability, please go to the gallery section of this website.
Teaching
Colin runs watercolour classes at his studio on Wednesday mornings and Tuesday evenings. He also teaches at Marlborough Summer School, holds regular workshops from the White Horse Book Shop in Marlborough and demonstrates to Art Societies.
Commissions
People often want a personalised record of their home; perhaps the church they were married in or a building with significant sentimental value. Paintings have a much more intimate relationship with the family and the house than photographs.
The timeless style of watercolour painting is ideally suited for families who want to give a special anniversary present; a thank you for an idyllic childhood home, a surprise wedding, anniversary or Christmas gift – with a difference!
Colin will work with you to ensure your memories are perfectly preserved – He can portray your home in summer even if you commission him in November... and of course he'll leave out the lamp posts and telegraph poles if you want him to.
Please contact Colin for availability and more details.
