As a student at the Slade School of Fine Art, Mark Senior became acquainted with new developments in French painting technique and colour theory through the influence of his teacher Alphonse Legros and other artists such as Henry Tonks and James Abbott McNeill Whistler. The most influential figure in Senior’s development, however, was Philip Wilson Steer, whom Senior accompanied on painting trips to Walberswick and Bruges. Senior was a founding member of the Staithes Group, a colony of artists essentially drawn to the idea of natural realism and plein air painting, including figures such as Harold and Laura Knight. He owned a fisherman’s cottage at Runswick Bay which served as his studio each year from spring through to autumn. The dramatic landscape of the North Yorkshire coast with its distinctive seasons acted as a source of inspiration throughout Senior’s life.
