'Having spent most of my time in the south of England, the surrounding chalky landscape with its copses of trees planted meticulously on the brow of hills, created this dreamy idealistic panorama. Again, this is a real trail as you really don’t know how affective this would be until the finer, more distant hills are put into place,,binding the picture together and giving it depth of field. I decided to make the landscape feel broader by adding a sun with rings, creating more of a fantasy to this unique landscape'
Guy Watts, Winter 2025

Guy Watts is a self-taught pen and ink artist, known for his intricate and imaginative drawings. His work is deeply inspired by nature and the outdoors, while other pieces explore themes of meditation, yoga, and spatial design, often evoking a sense of vast, unfathomable scale. Each A4 piece is meticulously crafted, taking between 150 to 300 hours to complete, drawn directly onto paper with pen and ink.
His artistic journey began unexpectedly at the age of 27 when he purchased his first pair of glasses and discovered a newfound clarity in his vision. With a background in geology, he honed his precision and attention to detail while working on oil rigs in the 1990s, using fine Rotring pens to create geological maps. In 2006, he made the bold decision to leave the rigs and dedicate himself entirely to his art. Now based in Somerset, he continues to bring his intricate visions to life, capturing the wonders of both the natural and the imagined world.
