ANTHONY S. CAMPBELL

 
Anthony trained at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee in the early ‘60s under the celebrated R.S.A. Academicians, Alberto Morrocco, David McLure and James Mackintosh Patrick. A further year was spent obtaining a teaching qualification at Dundee. After teaching 31 years in Tayside, Anthony took early retirement and returned to painting full-time. 

A lover of outdoor pursuits, Anthony has taken the Scottish landscape for his source of inspiration; working mainly in oils and watercolours. The artist prefers to work “alla prima”, i.e. ‘in one go’, directly from the subject regardless of the weather. The artist has often experienced rain streaming down his canvas as well as being plagued by midges and blown sand. However, he feels that the only sure way of capturing the mood of the subject while creating a feeling of spontaneity in the work is to be in the environment itself. His favourite location is the Scottish west coast, especially the Western Isles, and often travels to places of particular interest by bicycle or sea kayak. 

Having exhibited extensively throughout Scotland and in London, his works are found in private collections in the U.S.A., Canada, Australia and Europe.
