Hi

My name is Mark Whittaker and I am a 44 year old wildlife artist.

I have been painting wildlife for 28 years and would really appreciate any feedback you could give me on my work.

I have set up a website (although it's not finished yet) and any feedback would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Mark Whittaker.

Hi Mark, welcome to TAW Forum.
I don't normally go for photographic realism but your work is fantastic!
I am sure everybody here will be very impressed!

Well done and best wishes.

Hello Mark welcome on board :)
Your work is exceptional with such detail they must take you ages to complete.I would lose focus halfway through.

Hi Mark

Your work is fantastic!

I once tried to draw a horse. It looked like a dinosaur, and my son (who was young then) thought I was fantastic at drawing dinosaurs and bragged to his mates!

Welcome aboard.

Hi Mark and welcome from me too.
My golly, there is some skill gone into this and only around six weeks!. Not usually my sort of thing but charming and evokes memories of more innocent reflections and imaginings.

Hi Mark
Your paintings are absolutely fantastic. I wish I could paint as good as you! I haven't actually attempted oils yet, I think I might have to give it a go.

Hi Mark, I'm new too. Love your work. Nature In Art in Gloucester might be interested in showing your work or booking you as Artist in Residence. I don't work there but have seen some of the artists and you are as good as them!! Why don't you contact them?
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
