I am Julian Russell. I paint.
Here is my story
I am a renowned artist based on the UK’s Isle of Wight. I paint a diverse range of subjects for commercial and private clients, all with a focus on fine detail.
“I have been drawing and painting cars since I was a child… growing up in Canada in the 1960’s, my work was hugely influenced by the cars I saw all around me. Cars that were then just everyday transport were made in the millions, yet today few survive. I love to paint the shapes and forms that reflect in the bodywork and chrome of those huge vehicles.
I work mostly in acrylic-on-canvas, but like to do smaller cartoons and portraits as well. Many of my clients have a wonderful painting hanging on their wall, long after the car itself has moved on to a new owner.
Do contact me if you would like to commission a portrait of your cherished classic car (or bike, boat or plane). Alternatively, prints of some of my prior artwork are available to buy through this site, in a variety of sizes and mounts.”
