Chris Otley


We always like to follow what our friends are up to, and today we extended that to their siblings too. Our friend Patrick Otley posted a link to his brother Chris's website and upon checking it out we were amazed with what we saw:




"Chris Otley produces highly detailed works on paper in graphite, often on a large scale, with a focus on natural history."


Fish: Graphite on Paper . 2006

North Atlantic Sea Nettle: Graphite on Paper
119 x 70 cm . 2009-10

Barn Owl: Graphite on Paper . 2010

His drawings are absolutely stunning and with such fine detail, it's hard to believe they are actually hand-drawn. The choice of natural history has made for some beautiful studies into texture and technique. We would love to see Chris's art work in real life, perhaps we will commission a piece for our studio space.

Why not head on over to Chris's website and check out all of his work for yourself. And if you are after some inspiration, he has a pretty good blog too.
