About the artist
Alan Percy Walker’s career in art first arose in the early 1970’s with the writing of two novels and the production of a small collection of watercolour landscapes. The paintings sold; the novels did not. His writing took a back-seat while his painting increased in popularity and sold, mainly through private galleries – often one-man exhibitions – with much of his work going abroad.
He was first known primarily for his urban and marine landscapes, many of which have been published in books, calendars, magazines such as Country Life, and in the form of limited edition prints. A large body of his work in pen and ink has also been published in books and newspapers – Peterborough of the Daily Telegraph and others.
Control of perspective and observation of detail lead to his being commissioned to paint a wide range of subjects, from small cottages to stately homes, from Cathedrals to The Royal Courts of Justice. His clients have included the National Trust, the Church of England, and various universities. He has been commissioned on 10 occasions to produce watercolours of Gold Medal winning gardens at the RHS Chelsea Flower Shows. In more recent years his trees and rural landscapes have become especially popular, also his paintings of ocean going yachts and ships in wild and turbulent waters.
His first cautious return to writing was in 1983 when he ‘ghosted’ Sam Grigg’s book ‘Country Railwaymen’ which also contained 104 pen and ink drawings. The book was awarded a trade prize for design and originality, and subsequently made a Book Club choice. It went to a 3rd impression.
‘Country Town’, a book written by Alan Percy Walker and illustrated with 180 of his pen and ink drawings, was also well received and went to 3rd impression after it was published in 1988. Since then a number of other books of his paintings and drawings have been published.
Most of his paintings are watercolours, on plain white 140lb Cold Pressed paper; he uses very little gouache and his watercolours contain no line-work; Also his paintings are devoid of pentimenti. His drawings are on cartridge paper using lead pencil, or common ball-point pen, or Indian ink with a ‘dip and scratch’ nib; his figurative work is often on sepia tinted paper using Caran d’Ache crayons.
He says now that time spent writing is a joy not often afforded. Painting demands precedence. Recent work includes commissions from Sankyo Shoji Corp, Tokyo:A Nidec Group Company; Reeves, Watercolour calendars of Great Britain; Ministry of Finance, Sarawak; Royal Marines School of Music, The National Library of Wales.
Originally from Kent and London he moved with his family to Wales in 1988.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
