Nick Tidnam

Nick Tidnam studied at Camberwell. After graduating he freelanced as a graphic designer and teacher, while also teaching A level art in secondary schools. For the last fifteen years Nick has taught life drawing, printmaking, graphic design and fine art at the Kent Institute of Art and Design. Nick enjoys teaching and finds it stimulating as well as a way of giving something back. He is involved in adult education and has recently helped pilot a very successful scheme with the Kent Institute to bring adults back to art education. He has also taught abroad and recently returned from a trip to India.

Nick is a very versatile artist. He is equally at home in oils, acrylics and watercolours. He encourages his students to work in different media, charcoal, pencil, pen and ink, even biro and sticks sharpened and dipped in ink. He always carries a small sketch book and encourages students to do the same.

Nick has exhibited with Rowland Browse and Delbanco, more recently at The Mercury Gallery, Cork Street, London also in Saffron Walden, Canterbury, The New English Art Club, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, The Society of British Artists of which he is a member and annually at his own open studio.

Hot Day Dungeness, oil on board

“Hot Day Dungeness”
oil on board
66 x 22cm.

“Dungeness is a wonderful place to paint and draw, it seems to be on the edge of the world. I hope this picture has captured the sense of place with the beach, derelict buildings and wide open spaces.”
