Methodology

Bennett uses a variety of mediums including watercolours, pastels, acrylics and oils on a wide range of papers and boards.

His sketches, paintings and drawings derive from his experiences with nature, wildlife and the landscapes in which they live. Experiencing these things first hand, sketching and painting them in location, allows him to capture their energy and essence.
