Steven Lingham is a self-taught artist who previously worked as a trained printer.

As well as winning a number of awards, Steven was also a finalist in the Daily Mail’s “Not the Turner Prize” competition, beating several thousand fellow artists. 

He thinks nothing of spending several hours working on an area, only inches across, to accomplish the required effect. His love for wildlife and fascination for detail makes his paintings almost photographic, giving the subject life and movement true to it’s natural form.

For most of his work gouache is used on quality watercolour paper. Firstly he draws the whole picture in pencil to attain tonal values, he then adds gouache applied by airbrush to give a soft focus background. Then builds up layer on layer of paint using fine brushes until he is satisfied he has captured the required level of detail.
