Amanda Hoskin

Artist Amanda Hoskin teaches on our Landscape in Oils course, One Week Landscape course with various artists and our National Trust Painting Days and Tresco Painting Holidays.

Amanda Hoskin is a familiar name on the Cornish art scene having been living, working and exhibiting in Cornwall for over fifteen years. She has gained a considerable following for her subtle depictions of many different parts of Cornwall's varied coastal landscape.

"I am an artist who is very much influenced by the landscape that surrounds me. I need to live and work in Cornwall as it is my greatest inspiration. Whenever I am finding painting difficult or struggling to find inspiration I grab my sketchbook, go for a long walk and find that my ideas come flowing.

My sketchbooks are where my paintings start whether it’s a quick watercolour, a line drawing or even a written note to myself to remind me later of my feelings and thoughts".
