I left school with no qualifications and worked for several years at Grimethorpe colliery then for several more years at an engineering plant in Barnsley, Wilson (no relation) and Longbottom’s and to cut a long story to shreds in 1990 I went full time at painting after `getting into` Pointillism which is the technique I use which is basically paint...
My day begins around 5.15am when I drag myself away from wrestling with the duvet, then a reviving cuppa, read a little then begin painting or drawing around 6-15 . On Monday though I co-run Top Draw Life Drawing in Barnsley with my great mate Suzy Brumby and Thursday evenings I attend life drawing at Westgate Studios in Wakefield. Both are really ...
I’ve had some great memorable responses to my work including being featured on TV and radio plus countless interviews in newspapers etc. But the most memorable for me was once, some years ago, I was doing a talk to some school children aged around 12 years when one boy who had been looking intently at my dotty paintings suddenly looked up and said,...
The artistic life is lonely in the respect that I like to paint on my own but as I’ve said, the fantastic friends I’ve made through art fill my life plus when I’m painting my head is full of thoughts for other pictures that you don’t have time to feel alone. Too many characters in my head asking to be released.
I research the work of the Impressionist painters and Georges Seurat who `invented ` pointillism but sometimes I wish someone would research me and let me know who I am.
I used to paint in oils but I painted my first pointillist picture in watercolour and found that this medium was 3 times faster than oils so I adopted watercolour and adapted it to an oil painting technique in that I use a little water and a lot of paint. A writer friend of mine who bought some of my work said to her friends that she gets a lot of ...
I don’t rage against any machines nor do I ever use computers in my work. I don’t use a ruler to draw a straight line either coz for me, if I don’t create a painting or drawing just using my eyes and fingers and imagination (and paints, brushes and pencils) I would feel I’ve cheated a bit.
The artists who really get to me are of course Seurat, Stanley Spencer, Modigliani, Jack Vettriano and all the unknown, genuine honest to goodness artists working away in their bedrooms, attics and cellars. Those who draw and paint because they love it and have to through that love of doing it and my inspiration comes from the streets, on buses and...
I was born in Cudworth but have lived and worked in other places and now live and work here with a great view of a grassed over slag heap that used to be part of Grimethorpe colliery. It looks very rural but we know what lies beneath .
My professional goal is to be as un-professional as possible but that would be too easy for me as I`ve always been impressive with my un-professional approach to art but I muddle through.

Bio. Mick Wilson was born on 30th November 1962. His Mother agreed to the name Michael only on the condition that he was never to be called Mick (go figure!), which is something she has never done. His love for music started when his parents bought him a guitar for Christmas in 1969 and, far from being the 5-minute wonder that was anticipated ...
