Hi, I'm Sam Proctor-Crook and thank you for taking an interest in my artwork. I'm not a professional artist by any means and I'm entirely self taught - in fact I think you could happily say that I am still very much learning! I paint because I love it and I love sharing my passion with those around me.

​

I live in Staffordshire, UK and have always loved painting - especially seascapes, trees and highland cows. I am surrounded by wonderful countryside which is an endless inspiration, as is the wonderful coastline of Dorset that we regularly visit. I thrive on trying different techniques and experimenting with a range of media and tools. I mainly work with oils and acrylics but have been known to dabble with watercolours now and then.

 

The portfolio on my website shows just some of the artwork I have produced. My main aim is to have fun with my paintings and to enjoy the creative process. I love being inspired by the landscapes around me, but also love just starting a painting and seeing where it takes me - making it up as I go along and embracing the happy accidents (as the late, great Bob Ross would say).

 

It's a wonderful feeling when someone sees one of my paintings and feels instantly drawn into the scene and wishes that they were there. I am happy to accept commissions so please get in touch. I have completed a number of commissions for landscapes, seascapes and abstract pieces.

​

I also run art workshops which are wonderfully relaxed and fun. Its an absolute joy sharing my passion with others and encouraging them to pick up a brush and start their artistic adventures.

​

Cheers and happy painting

Sam
