With his epic painterly aquatints of the far edges of the British Isles, Norman Ackroyd captures the ever-changing atmosphere of the landscapes he visits. But like all of us, his usual plans were disrupted by the pandemic – something that’s seen him reach for his sketchbooks to explore his earlier trips, remembering the ebb and flow of being out on the water and the salty wash of the sea.
We visited Norman at his central London studio, along with Eames Fine Art gallery owner Rebecca Eames, and discussed his tools, techniques and travels.
