Royal Wootton Bassett and District Art Society: Kicking ass. Making art.
On Wednesday about 25 of the Society’s 34 people got together with their ideas and materials and make art. This week I was asked to judge some of their work, work members had entered for a competition, one of several they run across a year. The impact of the competition work was visible from the entrance. Drawing closer to the paintings and drawings on display I had a hard time making choices for First, Second, and Third prize. What wasn’t so tough was finding something appreciative to say about each and every of the 32 entries that I judged.
As the dodo said in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland “all shall have prizes”.

As a painter, printmaker, I dedicate my work to exploring & capturing the landscape. I bring exciting places into people’s homes. Often times I am painting for a commission and running demonstrations for art groups.
Paintings
I appreciate this opportunity to present my paintings.
Please use the contact form or email tim@timbaynesart.co.uk to enquire for more details/shipping on a specific piece of work. I will get in touch as soon as I can.
Enjoy your journey around Tim Baynes Art.
Printmaking
Monotyping is printmaking made by drawing & painting an image using etching ink on a copper plate. The image is transferred onto paper when the plate passed through the press.
The process produces exclusive, one-off pieces of work.
Commissions
• One of the most exciting areas of painting in which I work is the creation of specific pieces for a commission
• It is often a particular place, sometimes a house, sometimes a coastal area or landscape that is special to someone
• Please do get in touch for an exploratory conversation if you have an idea for a painting you’d like
Demonstrations
My painting demonstrations are very popular. I deliver highly interactive sessions for 90 minutes to 2 hours.
Recent feedback..
“Thank you Tim. I really enjoyed the evening’s demonstration and given me the push to get back to oils”
Drawings
The vitality of drawing
Exploration. Drawing is an exploratory act a way of figuring out what may or may not be important in a follow-up/larger piece of work.
Celebration. In sketchbooks or on large sheets of paper is a celebratory process, reacting to what is in front of me or in my head at the time.
Recording. I have been lucky enough to travel extensively; drawing has always been a part of the adventure. As a result there are over 80 sketch books on the shelf.
