Original artwork description:

This is an original portrait painting of a Stag completed on textured dark brown leather.

It comes box-framed and ready to wall hang.

I specialise in painting wildlife portraits on leather using the unique texture and colours of each hide to complete and be integral with the composition. My profile here on Artfinder has many examples of similar artworks.

The reason for using leather as a medium to paint on is often asked. In this case as with all of my leather art, the leather hide chose is not by accident. The texture and colour must add to the composition, in this case the size of texture perfectly added to the semi-3D effect. Some artists prepare the ground to give texture. I use the natural and random texture of leather in the same way.

The painting process I have developed over the past 10+ years has enabled me to exploit a feature that many mediums avoid. My leather art is not behind glass. The process and materials I use means that the leather art is waterproof and should be seen and appreciated - including touching as you can sculpture. I paint art on leather jackets as well so the process is well proven.

So if you are looking for art that is innovative this could be what you are looking for..
