Charles Brooking grew up near Rye in East Sussex. He is a qualified furniture maker and carpenter. Having worked in the four main London international art auction houses he then turned to painting.
Almost everything he knows about art is self-taught and when he travels to major cities, a visit to its major art museums and galleries will be on his agenda. When painting, communicating atmosphere and colour are his main concerns.
In the past he has worked in all genres of painting but now he concentrates on waterscapes and portraits, oil being his preferred medium for its versatility.
He has exhibited in various galleries and has held four solo exhibitions to date.
