After a career in advertising and graphic design, Carole returned to her first love, painting, full-time. She now teaches and runs weekend workshops, as well as organising painting holidays.

She uses a wide variety of media including acrylic, watercolour, pastel, pencil and monochrome.

Review:

Issue 26, 2005 Even the most accomplished landscape artist can struggle when it comes to painting figures in watercolour. Carole Massey takes us through the step-by-step process of figure drawing and painting in a way that will ensure success for anyone. Her range of illustrations will help you get that figure right. I particularly liked the section on facial features - eyes, mouth, nose, ears - all with good examples. Hands and feet are explained clearly and her paintings of figures in a variety of settings are an asset to any artist. * It's Wandsworth *
