Stephen Wiltshire

Stephen Wiltshire is an autistic artist who specialises in drawing skylines using thin, black pen.
He was the first artist that I researched for this unit.
The image above is one of the many panoramas Wiltshire has drawn purely from memory.

In this piece of work Wiltshire used paint to heighten the attractive, auburn, autumn leaves. I'm particularly fond of this image because I myself enjoy painting trees with watercolour, as I admire the fresh and natural, yet mesmorising colours and textures it adds to the atmosphere. He rarely uses colour, therefore he has specifically decided that the colour in the trees are worth adding to his artwork. As a result, he too may have fondness of the organic beauty of trees.
The image is of Albert Bridge in London.^^
