Trademark Fine Art 'Red Squirrels' Canvas Art by Nigel Artingstall

Nigel showed an interest in wildlife from a very young age and spent much of his time studying the fauna and flora around his home town. He demonstrated an early ability as an artist with his pencil drawings and slate etchings. By the age of eleven he started selling his work to friends, relatives and school teachers. Having tried a number of different mediums he eventually decided that Gouache gave him the qualities he was looking for, because this water based paint had the versatility to be thinned and used with an airbrush, or used in its natural state thus enabling him to create his wonderfully detailed images. - two squirrels sitting on a tree branch.
