Clive R. Tyler was raised in an encouraging artistic atmosphere. He studied fine Art and Design at Kent State University (Ohio) with a double major and was awarded a Bachelors of Fine Art Degree. Twenty years later after a successful design career, he is now known as one of the best Pastelist on a national level. Living in For collins, colorado, he is seriously painting with integrity and seeking the truth in his subject matter. His goals set, he has in just a few years moved quickly into the art scene, having received invitational's at national museums and acceptance with both galleries and collectors. His classical oil painting style is unique for pastel painting. With strong composition and attention to lighting, each painting has its own special emotional connection with the viewer. The study of painting has come from personal studies of old masters, Plein Air pa8inting and from attending workshops at the Loveland Art Academy (CO) with some of the leading nationally acclaimed artists: Lorenzo Chavez (pastel), Skip Whitcomb (plein air, pastel and oil painter).
