Christine Hopwood ARTIST
Christine Hopwood | Brimley House Studio | The Street | Bethersden | TN26 3AG | Tel: 07872 496734
I’m Christine and I am a visual artist based in Bethersden, Kent, England. I have a home studio which is open for viewing several times a year and upon request. I predominantly work in coloured pencils, oil and clay but by no means exclusively. I describe myself as eclectic, hectic, peptic and occasionally septic (welcome to the dark side!). Though people and pet portraits are a passion I also work with many and varied subjectivities. I hope you enjoy looking at what I do and you can find out more about me and my work on my About page; and, what I’m up to now on my Blog page.

Hello and welcome to my website...

DRAWING  Drawing is definately my main skill as I have drawn since childhood. After all those countless years of practice, I now sketch directly in pen.  I call some of my sketches ‘holiday snaps’ as they are usually whilst away, fairly quick and in-situ.  I find that sketching embeds a place, it’s look and feel, in your memory in a way that photography cannot evoke. What will you see….  I will be exhibiting examples of all that I do and this will include:  people and pet portraits in artist pencils and charcoal; townscape and landscape paintings; clay portraits….and more….  With hundreds of participating artists and area trails to follow there is ample opportunity to enjoy the many and varied talents exhibited.  I can offer a warm welcome with a cup (or glass) of your favourite tipple and I will be demonstrating throughout.    You can find out lots more about the exhibiting artists and their area on the SEOS website, click HERE..  I am no. 109 in the catalogue and look forward to seeing you! My opening times are:  Fri 3rd    10am-4pm   &    6pm-8pm Sat 4th    10am-4pm Sun 5th  10am-4pm Tue 7th   10am-4pm Wed 8th 10am-4pm Fri 10th   10am-4pm   &   6pm-8pm Sat 11th    10am-4pm Sun 12th 10am-4pm Mon 13th 10am -4pm Wed 15th 10am-4pm Fri 17th     10am-4pm  &   5pm-8pm Sat 18th    10am-4pm Sun 19th   10am-4pm
