Clive R. Tyler
Artist Biography
Pastel, American Landscape
Clive R. Tyler was raised
in an encouraging artistic atmosphere. He studied Fine Art and Design
at Kent State University (Ohio) with a double major and was
awarded a Bachelors of Fine Art Degree. Twenty years later after a successful
design career, he is now starting a new journey.
Living in Fort Collins,
Colorado, he is seriously painting with integrity and seeking the truth
in his subject matter. His goals set, he has in just a few years moved
quickly into the art scene, having received invitationals at national
museums and acceptance with both galleries and collectors. His classical
oil painting style is unique for pastel painting. With strong composition
and attention to lighting, each painting has its own special emotional
connection with the viewer.
The study of painting has come from personal studies of old masters
and from attending workshops at the Loveland Art Academy (CO) with some
of the
leading nationally acclaimed artists: Lorenzo Chavez (pastel), Skip
Whitcomb (plein air, pastel and oil painter).
