His style, influenced by Thomas Girtin, Crome and Cotman, was technically accomplished. Most of his watercolours are of Norwich and the surrounding Norfolk countryside. At the Norwich School's first exhibition in 1805, Thirtle exhibited five paintings as one of the five featured artists. He also worked as a drawing-master, a printseller and a looking glass maker. He produced frames for paintings by several members of that school, including John Crome and John Sell Cotman. Born in Norwich, where he lived for most of his life, he was a leading member of the Norwich School of painters. John Thirtle (1777–1839) was an English watercolour artist and frame-maker.
