Anthony Nelson Blackman ARCA's interest in Maritime painting was influenced by observing life on the River Thames off his hometown of Gravesend. The river life was fascinating to him and at an early age he was sketching ships and local river scenes. He spent his early student days at Gravesend School of Art later specialising in Marine Painting. Blackman went on to attend the Royal College of Art, London from 1954-57. In the early 1980s, Blackman was commissioned by Karl Fanning, the captain of a container ship moored off Gravesend, to paint a portrait of his vessel after the skipper stumbled across the artist's gallery while walking in the town. Capt Fanning was impressed with his work and more commissions followed, leading to Blackman holding an exhibition in the ship's home port of Galveston, Texas, where he has held a fan base ever since. He also enjoyed a flair for teaching, working at Southfields School, Singlewell Road, before teaching at the Sir Samuel Baker School, Gulu, Uganda, in the 1960s.
