Biography

BIO UPDATE! Here is a quick update to my profile. Although window cleaning is still what pays the bills, i feel pleased with the successes I've achieved in the short period of time since joining Painters Online and first writing my bio, so I would like to share them with you. I'm excited to say that I won the 2019 SAA professional Artist of the year along with their professional portrait and figurative award. I have also had the privilege to exhibit in the 2017-21 Royal Society of Oil painters (ROI) annual exhibition along with the 2019-21 Royal Society of Marine Artists, at the prestigious Mall Galleries. I have had work published in both The Artist magazine and The Leisure Painter along with being invited to write a number of online articles for painters online. I have had work in the 2017-21 The Artist category for the Patchings Exhibition and even won Awards in 2019 and 2020! 😊 I have been successfully selected as a member of the Cambridge drawing Society as well as being an active member of the Hertford art Society! Happy painting!_____________________ My name is Craig Allan Lee and I am a self employed window cleaner, with a passion for painting, Drawing and Sketching. Although Window cleaning is what pays the Bills, I have always drawn and recently decided to show and possibly dare I say, even sell my artwork. My greatest achievement was to convince my wife to marry me and have three amazing children. I paint in watercolour (mostly when life drawing, for speed!) and in oils. My oils tend to be Alla prima as I like the loose spontaneity of the style, also because I'm quite inpatient and can lose interest quickly.
