Welcome

Inspired by the light playing on the landscape as the seasons change Sue Payton's atmospheric watercolour paintings capture many local Shropshire landmarks.

Self taught artist Sue Payton found that a watercolour landscape given by a family friend combined with giving up work to look after her young children provided the catalyst to start painting after a scientific education and career. Sue's initial instruction came from art books magazines and trial and error.
Her work has evolved over the years and now includes pastels and oils as well as watercolours. Her subjects have also evolved from local Shropshire landscapes to now include flowers and animals. Most recently she has been concentrating on wildlife paintings in oils and in pastels.
In 2004 Sue started to self publish her work. The use of a professional quality printer with pigment inks on treated watercolour paper ensures that the prints not only capture the subtleties of the original painting but that if kept out of direct sunlight the colours will stay vibrant for more than 70 years.

"I hope you enjoy looking through my paintings"

I now have a Facebook page. Have a look for me under 'Sue Payton Artist' and see what I am up to and the progress of my latest painting. I will be posting photos of my paintings as I do them so you can see them as they progress.

Please note - My prints and originals can now be found at Ironbridge Antiques Arts and Craft Centre at Merrythought Bear Factory (Dale End) Ironbridge.
