Christopher W. Baker

Christopher William Baker RBA (born 1956) is an English landscape painter, watercolourist, draughtsman and author from Sussex, England.

He played the part of an artist and painting tutor in Joanna Hogg's film Archipelago, shot on Tresco, Isles of Scilly in 2009.

Most recently Baker undertook a project called '64 Days' in which he set himself the routine of returning to the same place to draw and paint on Trundle Hill in West Sussex for an unbroken period from 25 January to 28 March 2012.

He is senior fine art tutor at West Dean College[3] and runs private courses through his School of Landscape Painting.

His early work has been described as 'photo realist' in style, while his later works of predominantly landscape subjects are in the modern impressionist or abstract style, showing the influence of previous British landscape painters who eschewed solid objects and detail in favour of expressing the spiritual elements of their subjects, such as J.
