POPULAR TUTOR, REGULAR CONTRIBUTOR TO THE LEISURE PAINTER MAGAZINE AND SEARCH PRESS AUTHOR
Tim Fisher is a leading artist, author and popular art tutor. He became a professional artist in 2000, following a successful career in research for an international US company. Since the launch of his career Tim has won numerous art awards. He was shortlisted from 12,000 entrants for the first Daily Mail Not the Turner Prize competition with his pastel “Pink Hydrangeas”. This was displayed in the Mall Galleries, London and Leicester University.
Approaching his paintings like a researcher, Tim works with the heart of a purist and the mind of a realist. Whenever possible he collects his own reference material by observation, field sketches and photographs. His work is a composite of all these plus a remarkable use of light and colour to produce intriguing and inviting images.
He loves “the language of line” and much of his artwork features ink drawings.
Tim is a successful author for Search Press with four published books books , “How to Paint Flowers in Acrylic” “Perspective” “A Beginners Guide to Painting with Oil Pastels”
and "Palette Knife Painting in Acrylics" published July 2023.

Passing on his knowledge of art is a fundamental part of Tims life, he is more than happy to pass on his experience and is a natural born teacher.
Testimonies to his tutoring comment on his patience and empathy with students, so they can achieve new techniques with their artwork.
After over 30 years touring the country Tim is now having a break focussing on some exciting artistic projects and taking time to get out en plein air.
