Back in 2016, Tim Patrick’s Charcoal Portrait of ‘Fiona’ was a close Runner-Up in our inaugural Jackson’s Open Art Prize<\/a> (since renamed the Jackson’s Open Painting Prize – click here for more information on JOPP 2018<\/a>). The large drawing of the artist’s former landlady exuded the personality of the subject, and demonstrated Tim’s skill with charcoal. Dramatic tonal depth, variations in mark making, and a clear understanding of how to capture hands, the clothed figure and flesh all stood out in the work. In this interview Tim Patrick explains that his time at the Royal Drawing School has given him the confidence to realise that drawing from everyday life means far more to him than dealing with the subjects he once ‘thought’ painting should be about.<\/h5>\n
\"'Fiona'<\/a>

\n

Lisa: Your drawing of your former landlady was beautifully crafted and tender. Was it done from life or from photos, and do you remember facing any particular challenges in completing the work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim: I drew Fiona from life,\u00a0working mostly from sketches in my sketchbook to find an interesting angle and composition. \u00a0When it’s a portrait, I really prefer working from observation rather than photography – I think it’s more about discovering the subject as you work, rather than illustrating it. \u00a0We’d talk, and Fiona was an artist also, so sometimes drew me!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"'Mary'<\/a>

\n

Lisa: To my mind, it is clear that you have a lot of respect and affection for the subject of ‘Fiona’…how important is it that you like the person you are drawing? Have you ever been commissioned to make a portrait of someone that you don’t have a connection with personally?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim: Yes, we were good\u00a0friends, and the\u00a0drawing of Fiona and the\u00a0preceding sketches I really enjoyed. \u00a0I think it does affect the\u00a0outcome, whether\u00a0the person is known to me. \u00a0The portraits that have worked best in my opinion are those where the person is, or is\u00a0becoming a friend. \u00a0Sometimes you get it wrong and I\u00a0haven’t\u00a0understood them well enough, and end up making a piece that is\u00a0about my idea of them, rather than their personality.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"'The<\/a>
‘The Wash’
Tim Patrick
Charcoal on Paper, 160x124cm, 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

Lisa: How often do you get to draw?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim: I draw a lot! \u00a0The Royal Drawing school really\u00a0helped with that – before I was drawing but not so frequently from observation or everyday life. \u00a0Fiona was made as a result of that change. \u00a0I tend to work\u00a0in a sketchbook, usually from life and then working up ideas from memory and these sketches into bigger drawings in the studio – sometimes, these end in a larger drawing and other times develop into a painting.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"'The<\/a>
‘The Link’
Tim Patrick
Oil on Linen, 114x134cm, 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

Lisa: Can you tell us a bit about your residency at Downside School?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim: Working at Downside was a really great experience – it is a big Catholic Monastery school, and so seeing the Monastic life lived out was beautiful. \u00a0I actually tried to make work that was less overtly to do with the\u00a0Monastery, though\u00a0more about finding the contemplative and spiritual in\u00a0in the\u00a0everyday. \u00a0The painting called “The Link” was made there.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lisa: You are also known to work with oils and watercolour – what is your favourite medium to work with and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim: Well I work mostly through drawing at the moment, though painting in oils is my favourite challenge and medium. \u00a0Right now, I’m working simultaneously in charcoal and\u00a0gouache\u00a0paints, making\u00a0sketches for a larger oil painting. \u00a0So a bit of everything!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"'Psalm<\/a>
‘Psalm 51’
Tim Patrick
Charcoal on Paper, 121x175cm, 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

Lisa: You’re the second artist I’ve interviewed recently that completed a degree at Brighton and then went on to do the Drawing Year at the Royal Drawing School (the other being Elizabeth McCarten<\/a>, winner of the Jackson’s Young Artist Award at the Sunday Times Watercolour Competition 2017). How do you think the 2 institutions informed your artistic practice?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim: I think they’re both very complementary of one another. \u00a0When I was at Brighton, we were encouraged to “paint from the stomach”. \u00a0It was a painting\u00a0degree and having come from a traditional painting school in Italy, seeing other people being so bold and exciting in their work helped loosen me up. \u00a0The Royal Drawing school showed me how to connect my work with my life. \u00a0I think the emphasis of drawing from the everyday, from the things around you, made my practice less about what I thought painting should be about, and elevated the world I see\u00a0around me to be worthy of drawing and painting!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"'Bathroom'<\/a>
‘Bathroom’
Tim Patrick
Charcoal on Paper, 100x80cm, 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

Lisa: What conditions are most conducive to your creativity? (in terms of environmental and psychological)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim: Gosh, I think I’m a funny one as I need spells of both\u00a0quiet and of people! \u00a0I work best when I don’t think too much about the thing I’m painting, but just the doing of painting itself. \u00a0Painting the verb, not the noun. \u00a0Sometimes it’s from the scrappy drawings and pages of the sketchbook lying around the studio that I get the best ideas, so I need the actual studio\u00a0space to be\u00a0quite\u00a0busy with stimuli!<\/em><\/p>\n

Lisa: As well as people you are known to drawing and painting interiors. Can you tell us a bit about the ideas behind your interior paintings?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim: Yes I love painting interiors. \u00a0I’m not sure what draws me to them but it’s something about painting space. \u00a0I’m Catholic and the idea of painting a\u00a0quiet, contemplative space, really appeals to me – it’s a like a space for prayer. \u00a0I think the act of painting depth within a space, of creeping over the surface and discovering mid-tones and different greys, that in itself is a contemplative, prayerful\u00a0process.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"'Cacti'<\/a>
‘Cacti’
Tim Patrick
Oil on Panel, 50x30cm, 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

Lisa: What are you working on at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim: At the moment, I’m\u00a0working on a series of large drawings and paintings about representing these moments of\u00a0quiet contemplation in the everyday.\u00a0 Some are quite big so it’s a challenge! \u00a0The biggest challenge for me is to make my paintings have some of the qualities I enjoy in the drawings. \u00a0Mostly, the paintings I’m most pleased with are representational, made in response to observation; they are paintings that are about the process of seeing. \u00a0The drawings however, are like\u00a0fictions – there is something artificial about them, that allows them to represent things more imaginatively. \u00a0\u00a0Both I think, are trying to get at representing a truth, but I’m looking to make the\u00a0paintings have more of a feel of the imaginative drawings.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"'Wallpaper'<\/a>

\n

Lisa: Where online or in the flesh can we view more of your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tim: I’m in a group show at MIAR Arts in Hove also, every\u00a0weekend from the 25th November until the 10th December<\/a>. \u00a0My website should also be up to date soon! \u00a0www.timpatrick.co.uk<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
