Philip BeadlePhilip is a self taught artist who works in oil, watercolour, dry-point and monotype. His forays into the mountains for both skiing and tramping are an increasing source of inspiration along with life studies, painting trips overseas and his immediate environment of the beaches, the city and plains of his home town of Christchurch. Philip is recognised for his skills in working with colour and light, especially with low winter and evening light which create deep shadows strong highlights and exciting tonal variation.
