  • Bill Schwarz

    Oil, Acrylic and Mixed Media Paintings

    11 Thorne Street, Cambridge

    When I paint, I paint with three “I’s” ... inspiration, interpretation and imagination. My travels provide inspiration, which I capture in my sketch books (85 of them) and then repurpose using my imagination, back in my hotel room or studio with acrylic, oils or watercolour. I never paint what I see; only what I feel. Having said this my inspiration comes primarily from the urban landscape. This means architecture of all sorts; buildings and boats to vehicles or machinery. @billschwarzartist
