Lee Mitchell

Biography

I am a self taught artist hoping to turn my passion into my living, Born in Wiltshire, I Have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, but only in the last 2-3 years have I started to take it seriously. Soaking up inspiration and ideas every day have helped me become more confident and focused on doing something I love every spare minute. I am equally passionate about animals and wildlife and these tend to be the main source of my work, particularly Dogs. I feel I am still searching for my own distinct style but getting closer all the time. Most of my work comes from copying photographs so I try to be a detailed as possible to capture the likeness and soul of the subject. As much as this is my natural preference of approaching commissions, I also have a head full of original ideas far from the conventional process of drawing from a photograph. These range from abstract landscapes to street art inspired paintings in which I use a lot of hard edge shapes and lines with bright and vibrant color schemes.
