John Virtue

John Virtue was born in Accrington, Lancashire in 1947. He specialises in monochrome landscapes.

I enjoy John Virtue's paintings because of the way he creates mood and tone by using only black and white monochrome. I have some interest in using the media that John Virtue has used in his paintings in my own work because I think the style creates emotion which is something I am interested in. Virtue's work relates to mine because of townscape drawings I have done, but I hope to create more in time.
