Richard Wheatland GMA GAvA

Aviation and Motorsport Art Prints and Blank Birthday Cards

 

Richard has been drawing and painting almost since he was able to hold a pencil. His family background is full of artistic and engineering talent, and it was with the help of his artistically gifted Aunt that Richard first became engrossed with the world of painting.

Largely self-taught, he was regarded as a gifted art student at school but was encouraged by his parents to train for a ‘proper job’ and subsequently followed a career in engineering. Through this period artistic ambitions remained, though purely as a spare time hobby. From the age of around ten, Richard started taking an interest in motor racing and aviation and following visits to air shows and motor racing events it was inevitable that this interest would be transferred into his early drawing and painting efforts. Much later it was undoubtedly the combination of Richard’s engineering and artistic talents that were to prove pivotal in his artistic career. Today his paintings have become much admired for their high level of accuracy and meticulously researched technical and historical details.

Proficient using various media, Richard can complete pictures using Watercolour, Gouache, Acrylic, Oils, Conte-Pastel, Pencil and Ink and wash, with a combination of several of these often employed to achieve the desired effect.

In 2018 after forty-eight years in precision engineering, Richard was at last able to retire to his studio in Worth, West Sussex to paint during daylight hours.
