Painting evolution
| Not a step-by-step but rather how a painting of a single subject (Stonechat) evolves into several paintings in different styles using different mediums. |     |
I have just teamed up with the wildlife art company
The Wildlife Art Company provides accurate and exquisite illustrations for publication.
Established by zoologist and author, Mark Carwardine, and run by natural-history editor, Rachel Ashton, who together have many years of experience in the wildlife-publishing industry, the agency was created in response to a demand for high-quality artwork of the natural world. Representing some of the world's best natural-history artists, we cover a huge range of species.
New Original Art page layout
To make my originals easier to view I have changed the sections and also included one on Oil paintings a new venture for me.
