Anthony Platt

Anthony mainly paints the landscape of the Ribble Valley and surrounding areas in oil. Working from his home in Whalley, Lancashire, Anthony is inspired by the outstanding countryside of the Ribble Valley and paints from photographs taken whilst out running and walking. When not in his studio Anthony enjoys painting en plein air. Anthony has been painting from a young age and graduated from the University of Central Lancashire in 2001 with a BA (Hons) in Illustration. Anthony has appeared as a wildcard artist on Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year and has also taken part in other plein air art competitions, including Create Longridge. Anthony's paintings have recently evolved into a more painterly style. He likes to use colour and brushstrokes to depict the moment in time and the experience felt when discovering the scene to paint. The paintings depict the ever-changing movement and colours of the landscape.
