Keith Roper PS

Statement

Keith owes a lot to his former Art teachers; David Paton and Tony Bartl.

Keith's paintings are mainly landscapes, The Solent, Fens, North East coast and river estuaries are of a particular interest for him. He paints in Pastel but also uses Oil and Gouache. The main objective for him is to create a feeling of mood and atmosphere in the picture through colour, shape and in particular the application of pastel or paint on the paper or canvas. The sky and weather are also a feature in the creation of mood and sensitivity.
