Malcolm Drysdale
I have been an enthusiastic painter for more than forty years in a variety of mediums, mostly in oil and watercolour. In addition to my artistic practice, I have given classes in painting, art history and drawing, including life drawing. As a lecturer in Social Sciences in my professional career, I conducted classes in a creativity stream. I also create cartoons, illustrations and posters and have illustrated several books and book covers. I paint landscapes, portraits, cartoons, panodramas, nudes, abstracts, and works commenting on social issues. My styles swing, but not too wildly. I have visited and learned a great deal from many of the great galleries around the world. I am a keen photographer as well. My other hobbies include Spanish, travel, writing, gardening, science fiction, walking (it used to be hiking) and ballroom dancing.
