It always starts with an adventure.

“My wish is to stay always like this, living quietly in a corner of nature”

Claude Monet

Welcome to Ochre Studio. I’m Rob Sargent—artist and craftsman. This space, once an outbuilding for drying ochre for paint, is now where I create. Being close to nature is vital for my well-being. As I age, I see how much being outdoors helps my mental health. The calming effects of cycling, running, and walking in beautiful landscapes spark my creativity. I want to share this love for adventure, architecture, and art with you through my work at Ochre Studio.

Naming my work

Every piece of work created has been inspired by location. A place that has triggered that amazing feeling of excitement and possibility.

Using What3Words.com these locations are translated into 3 words. These are the titles of my work.

You too can find that inspiration.

Exmoor’s gone mad and given planning for a new farm. Reworked this painting to include a farm and improved the detail in the distant hills. It lacked a focus and went for really off centre. Really chuffed with the result from acrylic pen, 2B p
