Philip Beadle

Philip works in oil, water colour, drypoint and monotype. He enjoys working with form, colour and light, especially low winter and evening light which facilitates the wide tonal range in which he relishes.

Living in Christchurch Philip finds the city scapes, Canterbury plains and mountains an immediate source of inspiration. He meets regularly with a life drawing group and the female nude forms a large part of his work.
