Peter Woolley Set

Peter Woolley was born in Derby in 1960, left school at 16, and worked for 6 years at Rolls-Royce. He left the company in 1982 to fully pursue his interests in painting, resulting in his first one-man exhibition at the Guildhall in Derby in February 1983. After early experimentation with subject and medium, he settled for the pure watercolour style he now employs. He began painting full-time in December 1986.

In June 1991, Peter presented his Pennine Way Exhibition, a collection of 50 finished paintings and a portfolio of working sketches depicting Britain's first official long-distance footpath. He repeated his success with the Coast to Coast, Three Peaks and West Highland Way Exhibitions, and all his subsequent work has been directly related to his extensive travel and walking experiences.

He is the author of DRAWING TOWARDS WATERCOLOUR (David & Charles), HILLS AND MOUNTAINS (Search Press) and a contributor to THE WATERCOLOUR SOURCEBOOK (Search Press), and he has filmed several videos for The SAA with whom he is registered as a Professional Associate member. He has appeared on TV, on The Painting and Drawing Channel, and Woolley’s Watercolours (British Pathe/Amazon Prime), and has been a regular art instructor on board cruise ships since 2006 (CMV, Swan Hellenic, Voyages of Discovery, Fred Olsen and Saga).

Peter's original work can be found in private collections throughout the world, and many paintings have been published as limited-edition prints and cards. He regularly demonstrates and runs workshops for art groups and societies across the country, works as a tutor for Alpha Painting Holidays, and runs a successful Online Tuition Service.
