Jeremy Barlow first came into contact with the world of art at the age of 12, when he successfully bargained a set of watercolor paints from an aunt for just half a crown.

He had long cherished the dream of becoming a cartoonist and sacrificed traditional childhood gaming (football, cricket, etc.) in favor of a more creative pastime. Indeed, he felt happy only in those moments when he was working with a well-sharpened pencil or drawing another watercolor.

It was therefore natural that after a regular state secondary education in Kettering, Jeremy attended Northampton Art School and studied illustration. He later worked for a time in art studios in London and the Midlands (central England), but then decided to "immerse himself" in painting and became a professional artist in the early 1970s on the advice of gallery owners and other artists.

It was a risky decision, but Barlow's reputation as an artist with natural compositional skills and a keen eye bore fruit in the mid-70s. Until then, Barlow had always painted only in oil or ink, but at this time he was greatly impressed by the watercolor technique of the landscape artist Stanley Orchart. And, starting in 1975, Barlow concentrated on improving his skills as a watercolorist. abandoning other activities. Only two years later he managed to meet Orchart. They became friends, and Jeremy received a lot of inspiration and enthusiasm from his new friend.

Within 2 years, thanks to his watercolors, Barlow became better known both at home and in Europe. In 1977 he crossed the English Channel to concentrate on painting landscapes, including cityscapes, in Holland, Belgium and Germany. In Europe he gained enormous fame, his works were exhibited in many major European cities. The Dutch city of Delft bought 30 paintings from the artist for its topographic archives.

In 1983, Barlow returned to England and settled in Norfolk, but did not stop traveling. Periodically he comes to the Western Mediterranean. Barlow is accepted as a member of the Royal Institute of Painters. His work is now in many public, private and corporate collections around the world, including the Royal Family of the Netherlands.
