Artwork Description:

Title: Billet Lane

This is Billet Lane in my home town of Leigh-on-sea in Essex. I painted this pretty and summery view of the cobbled path which leads down to the seaside of Old Leigh with views of the Thames Estuary.

I used a photograph as my reference to paint this ink and watercolour illustration during the summer of 2023.

The original piece sold in January 2024 from Two Tree Gallery in Leigh-on-sea.

Artist Bio:

Kathryn Cooper is a British artist from Essex, with a passion to create all kinds of original art in ink and watercolour. Including abstract art, surface pattern design, landscapes and urban sketches.

In 2022 she set up a small business called KC Sketches, specialising in house and building portraiture. She enjoys creating  charming commissioned pieces for customers of their homes, wedding venues, business/commercial buildings and a variety of other places with sentimental meaning.

Kathryn spent several years living close to the breath-taking scenery of County Wicklow in Ireland. Those awesome views have been a strong inspiration in creating her miniature watercolour abstract landscapes. These are expressive and intuitive paintings, mostly in a palette of blues and browns. Many of them feature dramatic and stormy skies.
