I have really enjoyed how Pen & Wash has taken me in some completely new directions. The experiment continues with this 8” x 8” sketch from a photo of some pansies in my garden last year. #Watercolour #botanicalart #Pansies #painting

I rarely paint from my imagination but I was trying out some new paper and wanted to see how it responded to my colours and lots of water. This is completely out of my head.and it looks great on a wide range of the products available from Redbubble. The original is available and measure 8" x 10" on a cotton blend paper.

This is an abstract work in watercolour based on Buttermere, an iconic landmark in the UK Lake District. (The original measures 10" x 8" and is also available from www.bobpetcher.com)

This just came out of my head,playing with colour. I posted it on Facebook and told people that it could be whatever they wanted it to be. The Desert Island option seemed to be everybody's favourite.

This is a rare change for me in that it is an abstract work but inspired by a close-up photograph that I took of the cliffside at Rusnwick Bay on the North Yorkshire Coast. The original acrylic on canvas measures 30" x 24" and is also available on-line. Please message me if you are interested in purchasing the original artwork.

I love to experiment with colours and textures to create exciting abstract works like this but always draw my inspiration from nature. This painting was based on a photograph that I took in Wales in UK on Penbryn beach. The original work in acrylic on stretched canvas measures 16" x 12" and is also available. Please DM me for more information if you are interested in buying.

This atmospheric street scene came from my imagination and exploration of new techniques with drawing figures and buildings. When I posted this on FB it broke all previous records for likes so I have made prints available to meet demand.

This is from an original watercolour showing a view along the River Leam which runs through the centre of Leamington Spa in UK. The view was from a bridge in Jephson Gardens which offer a small oasis of peace in a busy town centre. My work is now in collections throughout the UK, Europe and America where these traditional wet-in-wet technique paintings are very popular.
