Rod Holt's Fine Art

General information

The website for Rod Holt's art and illustration. Rod trained at Rochdale College of Art and at the University of Northumbria. His finely detailed work juxtaposes intense observation within a wider environment, whether this is the natural landscape or an urban setting. His recent pieces are inspired and invigorated by the wildness and uncompromising nature of the Dark Peak landscape. Impressions and experiences which come from walking and running over the moors and tors, crags and groughs. Whilst there is photographic quality to his work, the fine detail arises from Rod's perfection of an unusual technique combining ball point pen with watercolour pencil.
