Nathan Dixon
I’m Nathan Dixon, a watercolourist & designer from Toronto. I've been drawing/painting since I could hold a pencil/brush, with over twenty years of experience specializing in watercolour.
In 2001 I studied Textile Design at Sheridan College Art and Design School. After a couple of years I realized that it was not the right path for me! In 2004 I attended George Brown College majoring in Fashion Design and graduating in 2006. I currently work as a freelance artist and designer.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My ultimate goal as an artist is to interpret my inspiration in a new and interesting way, be it a wildlife, still life or portrait.
In the last few years I have begun to experiment with painting larger, It allows me the freedom to play and express myself with colour and texture on top of my signature of combining loose wet on wet techniques with more tightly detailed work.
Even though my style and I have evolved over the years, what has remained consistent is my goal of showcasing the beauty in the world around us.
