Jamie Boots - Wildlife Artist
I discovered this talented wildlife artist’s video today - excellent wide-screen, high definition production with lovely music and outstanding, inspirational artwork.
Originally from New Zealand, Jamie is a self taught artist whose work is produced in graphite pencil. The finest detail is achieved by etching fur or skin texture into the paper and then working over the top of it with darker tones of pencil. A large number of photographs are taken with up to ten pictures being used to create the composition of the drawing whilst also trying to capture the individual personality of the animal to be drawn.
Jamie first exhibited his work in 2004 and has won a number of awards for his artwork. In a very short period of time a hobby became a profession and with a limited number of originals being available each year his drawings have become highly collectible. Many of Jamie’s pictures are available as Limited Edition prints in galleries throughout the UK.
