Welcome to ‘ Picture Hill Fine Art.’
The website of Cornish artist David Greenhalgh.
As a Fine Artist I work in torn paper collage, oils and pastels. However, I mostly enjoy the process and challenge of working with torn paper collage, which has proved to be the most popular in terms of sales.
Inspiration comes from my immediate environment. England’s Westcountry landscape and coastline, with it’s rugged beauty and moods, provides endless opportunities.
My colour pallet comes from quality magazines which I apply, in layers, torn pieces onto board with brush and glue. This technique unavoidably incorporates an element of photomontage as well as traditional collage.
This process largely determines the appearance, colour and texture, of the piece by what is found on that day!
In order to protect my original collages, they are glazed with Tru-Vue conservation glass. This filters out 99% of all harmful UV light, which fades the colour from fabrics and pictures, and can also feature ‘reflection control’, where this is important. Visit the Tru-Vue site for more information
I am a self promoting artist: as well as producing the original art, I also produce the Gicleé prints in house and, when needed, make my own frames and do the necessary glazing etc. I sell my work locally and sell the prints internationally through my Etsy shop.
