I’m Matt Coates, a watercolour artist from Titirangi

Matt is a watercolour artist from Titirangi and draws his inspiration from his surroundings and the frequent trips to local beaches. Matt loves to create, whether it’s an art piece or building a greenhouse or a skateboard ramp for the kids, Matt will find any excuse to gather his tools and piece together something. But his real passion lies with his watercolour art.

“Watercolours is the art of adding layers and mastering the four P’s – practice, patience, perseverance and passion.”

Recently Matt has started working in acrylic which is very different to watercolours, working with thick paint on a easel has been a rewarding challenge for Matt so far.

I recently was interviewed by Doodlewear, a collaboration with artists transforming art into clothing. You can read about me and my art life here.
