Biography
Tim Baynes has studied at Colchester School of Art, the Slade School of Fine Art and Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.
He works in oils, acrylics as well as watercolours capturing the sea and shoreline, landscapes and cities: private collectors in Britain, America, Australia, Italy and France have acquired his work.
Always drawing, Tim fills Moleskine sketchbooks whenever he travels. He has amassed a collection of over 1300 drawings of 25 cities across the world. These drawings are featured in a weekly travel blog ‘ Passport’ on the BBC.com website where 50 million people have access to his work. As a result of his collaboration with the BBC Tim’s work is featured in Wanderlust magazine and newspapers in America and the Far East.
At the beginning of 2010 Tim renewed his fascination with printmaking influenced by print maker Christine Lock working at her riverside press beside the Thames at Marlow. This work continues under the tutelage of the painter Peter Spens.
