More about painting illustration

It drips, runs, splatters and smears, but in the hands of a talented illustrator paint can do almost anything. From camera-like realism that feasts on detail to wildly expressive brush strokes bursting with emotion, illustrators use paint in a plethora of ways. Painted illustration highlights the individuality of the artist – their own skill, hand and style shines through. Clients commissioning illustrators use this versatility to their advantage. Painted illustrations can be honed to perfectly fit any message. Whether it’s watercolour, acrylic, oils or inks, paintings offer real-world textures, tactility and physicality that computers can’t match, bringing the viewer closer to the artwork and what it says.
