Welcome to Chumleys Art - the Studio of Art & Illustration
Richard is a sketcher, painter, visual illustrator, animator and art instructor. His body of work has appeared on the web, local galleries, magazines, books, and corporate publicity for major highway, transportation and architectural projects nationwide.
He has won many awards both here and in America and in 2008 Richard raised the profile of coloured pencils as a fine art medium when he won the inaugural David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation Wildlife Artist of the Year with an orangutan painting called The Hope of Sepilok. It also won the Endangered Species Category in the same competition and Founders Prize for the Best UK Entry in the 6th Annual International Open UK Coloured Pencil Society Exhibition 2008.
This site is representational of some of Richard’s work – check out his Portfolio page for the many commissions he’s done over the years.
Particular interest is the Creative Process and Commission pages which explain how he does what he does and how people and companies can commission a piece of artwork or illustration which can be sent anywhere on the planet. This site is for you whether you are someone wanting a picture of their loved one in coloured pencil, graphite, acrylic and digital or are a company looking for a project, idea or branded logo to be visualised and painted as a 3D illustration. Feel free to browse the site but the content is only a snippet of what he creates. Much of his work is private until the recipient gets the work which could be several months later.
Please get in touch with him to discuss your piece of bespoke and highly individual artwork.
You can also check out his You Tube & Vimeo channels to see how he creates his art in video demonstrations, and you can also see them on his many social media links below.
