James Roughead

James Roughead is a Scottish artist raised on the Isle of Bute, currently
living and working in his Glasgow home studio. The subject of the
majority of his work is landscapes and seascapes from around the Isle
of Bute and the British coastline.

Working with oils and gouache both ‘plein air’ and in the studio, James
focuses on colour and textural variations to achieve impressions of his
subject, that have an added dimensionality and life up close. This surface texture is developed by using pallet knives and thick loaded
brush strokes dispersed around thin layers of paint, with the occasional
points of raw surface poking though.

James received his Bachelor of Science (Hons) from UWS Paisley in
Computer Animation with Digital Art
