True Blue is proud to present Bob Martin, an artist who merges East and West aesthetics through his sumi-e works and other art. The influences of Japanese techniques and sensibilities can be seen woven throughout much of his work. 
In addition to his sumi-e works and landscape paintings, Bob has done frescoes and illustrated books. He teaches palette knife techniques and sumi-e painting and participates in “quick draw” and “plein air” painting demonstrations. Bob is also a retired kilt maker, a historian of the kilt, and a member of the Scottish Tartan Society and the Guild of Tartan Scholars.
Asked about his art, Bob says, ”I paint to please myself. I have nothing to prove with my painting, no theory to expound, no revolutionary ideas to give to the world. I give myself, using my talents to the best of my ability.”
