Bill Benbow

Painter: Acrylic on canvas

Bill alternates between using watercolour, pastel, charcoal, oil and alkyd. He likes to experiment with the materials, often mixing types.
​Bill had always enjoyed art at school, but pursued a career in engineering, studying for qualifications at night school. He had got to a point where I wanted to study a subject that was completely non-academic, something that was not linked to work. He enrolled with Norman Sims' class, and his approach and enthusiasm led Bill to become a founding committee member for the Birstall & District Art Society, where he is still an active member.
Bill has submitted a piece of work at their annual exhibition each year since 1995. His main emphasis is portraiture; and he love works by John Singer-Sargent, Robert Bevan, Edward Seago, Robert Lenkiewicz, Sebastien Lebeaut, William Orpen
