Wildlife Art Journey: At the start of his career Andrew produced mostly illustration work, drawing birds and animals for journals, magazines and books (most notably as principal illustrator for ‘The Birds of Oxfordshire’ for which he produced the colour plate for the dust-jacket and 87 of the 147 ink drawings in the book).
A self-taught wildlife artist, he works in a variety of media, including graphite pencil, coloured pencil, acrylics and pastel to complete his originals.
His use of different mediums and techniques allows him to explore a variety of subjects, from majestic predators to delicate garden birds. He has a keen eye for capturing the character and personality of each species, imbuing his artwork with a sense of individuality and life.

Currently most of my art is created using acrylics on primed panels.
I enjoy working on the complex textures and patterns that can be found in the natural world, by building up many layers of transparent paint.
I also like to use graphite pencil and charcoal to produce detailed representations of mywildlife subjects.
