Artist Demonstration – Chris Church – Animals Using Watercolour Pencils

Chris Church is a self-taught artist working primarily in watercolour pencil, specialising in wildlife, animals and nature. His pieces are drawn from photos that he has taken over the years, and brought to life through art. Visits across the UK with his young family often serve as excellent inspiration for his pieces. He was a finalist for the prestigious David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year in 2019, and displayed the beautiful ‘Curious Red Panda’ piece in the Mall Galleries, London.
He enjoys undertaking private commissions, often beloved family pets, but on occasion trees and scenery that are a place of significance for those requesting the commission.
His style creates an accurate interpretation of the picture, with subjects immediately recognisable by their owners and handlers alike, capturing the personality of the individual.
