JONATHAN SAINSBURY

by Jonathan Sainsbury

I have been self employed as a wildlife artist since leaving art school in the 1970’s

I came to Scotland forty years ago inspired  by the natural beauty  of the landscape and the flora and fauna that abides within.

In my work I try to portray the beauty of the natural world and hopefully inspire viewers  to care for our Scottish wildlife.

I work predominantly in charcoal and watercolour with a style that I have made my own.

I have exhibited internationally, in contemporary art shows, notably ‘Birds in Art’ and ‘Society of Animal Artists’ in North America, in the Society of Wildlife Artists, London, the Scottish Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Watercolour Society and other Open shows in Scotland and abroad. My work is in public and private collections worldwide.

Each painting is an exploration between loose painting and controlled detail, built up over many layers. This variation of mark making can be seen from a distance and you are also rewarded close up. The paintings change and develop over many sessions, often with a mind of their own.

I am naturally drawn to natural forms and patterns, ranging from flowers to snowflakes. I use a combination of design, colour and technique to produce vibrant and imaginative art. I’m constantly exploring my use of paint and mixed media to develop my finished paintings.

The end result is both uplifting and rewarding.
