He is a traditional artist, most of his work being portraits
and cityscapes. What I really like about him is the technique he developed and
his use of lines and color. When you look
at his portraits, they look so delicate and detailed, compared to his
cityscapes, which are mostly detailed on certain areas, and he is specifically using
colors to highlight those areas. I appreciate the most his style, it interests
me very much, because myself I am a very big fan of drawing portraits, and I
would love to find it that easy as he does to paint portraits like that with watercolors,
to find that freedom when you put the brush on the paper and just trust your
instinct, especially when it comes to colors. I sometimes find it difficult to
match the colors on my painting with the ones in the reference picture I use,
and I can see in Bannister’s that spark
in every color he uses, it seems the right amount on each corner of the piece,
and always the right contrast. I think that his illustrations don’t go outside
the box, but his works are the perfect example of well executed traditional
paintings.
