Vic Bettridge's Biography
Vic Bettridge has been interested in painting and drawing for most of his life but had little time to take it seriously until about ten years ago. He is mainly self-taught, having had no formal training except for some workshops and evening classes.
Vic regularly exhibits his work in exhibitions and is successful in selling his paintings and drawings both nationally and internationally. He is influenced by Chinese art and endeavours to combine it with a Western style to produce his unique paintings. Vic paints and draws a variety of subjects, including landscape, seascape, people and animals. Movement in his paintings are an integral part; the seas are rarely calm, the dancers are dancing, the animals are in motion and the birds are in flight.
Vic runs a number of life and figure workshops and tutorials and currently teaches drawing and painting at a local art group. He is a Committee member of the Warsash Art Group, the Marwell International Wildlife Art Society, the Fareham Art Group, the Bishops Waltham Life Drawing Group and the Society for All Artists.
