Andy Lean

Andy is an artist and teacher with over 20 years of experience who enjoys many different mediums. He specialises in painting with acrylics on wood. Andy is inspired by the British sea and wildlife which he illustrates on locally sourced reclaimed wooden boards. Each board has been sanded to enhance its natural characteristics before paint is applied. This process gives each piece originality and a uniqueness all of its own. Each piece has different layers of acrylic paints applied to create shades and tones and to develop depth within the image. To complete the final layers of the image, metallics and iridescent paints are added and these alter the painting when observed from different angles. They bring the paintings to life in a natural light. Commissions are welcomed.
