Title
The Bradley Gallery - pastel pencil tutorials, materials, courses and exhibitions
Description
Colin Bradley became a professional artist in 1982 and opened his gallery in Broadstairs the same year. The gallery sold Colin's watercolours, pen and ink prints as well as other works by local artists.
It was on a shopping trip to a local art store that led Colin to discover the pastel pencil medium. He had been asked by a friend to paint a picture of his friend's pet dog. Having tried several times to paint the animal Colin had to give up, the watercolour medium just did not produce the results he wanted.
The pastel pencils however proved to be an ideal medium for producing the realism Colin sought and although he did not know it at the time this encounter was going to dramatically change his life.
