About me
Clive Sinclair was born in Melbourne 1951.
STUDIES
Clive became interested in art and studied under John Lennox in 1973. The tuition with Lennox aroused Clive’s interest in traditional painting and tonal aspects of art, and he became a student of Max Casey.
Having studied for 12 months Clive travelled extensively throughout Europe and in 1975 studied art in London where he developed a love of the impressionists.
On his return to Australia Clive resumed with Max Casey for a further two years and developed a deep interest in small, delicate watercolours inspired by Hilder, Sturgess and Clarice Beckett. The evening light which they captured in their paintings and the poetic beauty of their vision influenced Clive in his own work.
Clive is an Elected Fellow of the Victorian Artists Society Melbourne, a member of the Watercolour Society of Victoria, exhibiting member of The Twenty Melbourne Painters Society and the Australian Guild of Realist Artists. Clive teaches art throughout Melbourne and Victoria including at the Victorian Art Society, Peninsula Art Society, Hampton Community Centre, and currently teaches at the bayside suburbs of Beaumaris, Brighton Art Society and Mentone Art Group as well as workshops Interstate and Overseas.
