Artwork by Tony Hinchliffe10 Artworks

Tony Hinchliffe loves the sense of escapism that comes with creating artwork. He is constantly developing on and perfecting his techniques so that there is always a feeling of energy in his work.

Hinchliffe's figurative paintings are all about depicting the mood and intimacy within a moment. He works with loose, sometimes spontaneous brushstrokes whilst at the same time, carefully considering placement of strong contrasting values to create depth.

"My main inspiration comes from being outside, studying people, oceans, landscapes and skies in all weather conditions. I also teach figure drawing and painting which means that I am constantly examining, tweaking and improving the process."

"My Figurative painting is all about depicting the mood and intimacy within a moment, using a loose approach to my brushwork, trying to be spontaneous while carefully considering placement of strong contrasting values to create depth. I have spent thousands of hours drawing figures from life, this has been fundamental to the development of my figurative painting style - mainly because I get to observe directly the little details in body language that can suggest all manner of narrative."
