Wildlife Oil Artists

Many of the artists that show their wildlife art in our online gallery are from South Africa. Their art work contains a broad range of wildlife as the subject including elephants, rhinos, lions, leopards, cheetahs and wild dogs.

Oil painting as a medium has been around for nearly four hundred years. Contemporary painters that use oils generally take the 'direct painting' approach, applying paint straight to canvas without under painting. Although this can result in fresh, lively art work it requires a great amount of skill.

Many new painting artists try this method but give up when they achieve less than satisfactory results. In order to produce truly great pieces of art using oils it is necessary to study the many techniques used by artists in the past.

If you have found a wildlife oil artist's item in our painting gallery that takes your fancy you will be pleased to know that the buying process is very simple. Also our art deliveries are insured against loss and damage to give you full piece of mind when you make a purchase.
