Keith Melling - Landscape Painter

Equally at home working on location or in the studio, his paintings reflect his patient dedication in rendering accurately not only the topographical features, but also the feeling or essence of the places he knows so well.

Oil paint is his favourite medium which he makes in the studio using traditional methods. For the smaller pictures gouache is used. He also produces wood-engravings.

There is an ever increasing demand for his fine quality prints, and his paintings have won many competitions. He is represented in collections throughout the world.

Keith lives in the beautiful Pendle Forest area of Lancashire. A full display of prints and recent paintings may be seen at his studio-gallery; open by appointment or by chance.
