Andrew Tischler

Based in Western Australia, Andrew Tischler states on his website that, like many sea and landscape painters, he finds the reference photos he takes on site don't capture the inspirational feeling of standing before the subject. He also makes use of field sketches, and refers to several photos of the scene, rather than just one. This makes it easier to pull out the essential qualities of the place.

The most spectacular part of the WA coastline is at its the southern end.

When you use the website to zoom in, you can see that the brushstrokes are quite Impressionistic.
