Darren Woodhead

Darren is a graduate of the Royal College of Art, London, and he's a passionate watercolourist whose work is created entirely on location, drawn directly with the brush.

Darren has been a lifelong freelance artist, travelling and exhibiting widely, and was recently elected a full Member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour. He has worked extensively with the BBC, appearing on Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Winterwatch as a live on-screen demonstrator and Artist in Residence, as well as on Landward, BBC Radio 4, Radio Scotland and STV.

He taught for many years at George Watson’s College, Edinburgh, Loretto's School, Musselburgh as well as Edinburgh College of Art, and has led painting courses to North Norfolk, Orkney, Arctic Norway and Sweden.

Driven to paint from life, Darren seeks to encourage and nurture enthusiasm through the experience, energy and freshness of first-hand observation and the connection then made to the natural world. He gives regular talks and demonstrations, describing his working methods both home and abroad.
