Iain Traill-Stevenson
British artist
 "Lakeside" Actual size 10cm x 8.5cm Watercolour on ivorine |
Iain has been interested in art since he was a child, when he discovered a talent for making models out of soap. This talent was later put to use in designing and making placques, and model animals and birds for Minerva Fine Arts, whilst pursuing a career in the motor industry.
It was his late wife who encouraged Iain to try painting in miniature, and, after reading Sue Burton's book on the techniques of miniature painting, he was hooked!
Iain had immediate success, winning the British Miniature Society rose bowl at the first exhibition of his miniatures in 1996.
Iain works in watercolour, acrylic and oils. He prefers landscapes but also delights in painting fruit in still life, working from sketches or photographs. Iain accepts commissions and can work from photographs of locations or of animals. |
