Alan M Hunt British Wildlife Artist
Alan M Hunt
British Wildlife Artist Alan M Hunt began painting at the age of eight, when his mother gave him a box of paints to occupy him as he recuperated from an illness, double pneumonia. He started off painting british garden birds from his bedroom window with his 1937 copy of the Observers Book of British Birds and Archibald Thorburn illustrations, which had fascinated him from an early age. Alan soon moved on to capture the other wildlife and the natural world around him on watercolour paper, board and canvas.
Alan first studied art at the Middlesbrough Art College now Cleveland College of Art and Design, however then decided to study zoology at Leeds College and then Bristol University.
Alan's first solo art exhibition was held in his home town of Redcar North East of England at the age of 18 and since then his original paintings have been shown in museums, galleries and public and private collections all over the world.
Alan M Hunt has received international acclaim, winning The Society of Animal Artists’ USA Award of Excellence on four occasions and The Wildlife Art Society’s UK Best Artist on Show for three consecutive years. Alan has been the lead artist at five exhibitions in the US and in 1998 was the first non-American to be voted on to the American Wildlife Art Hall Of Fame. In 1999, he was chosen as Artist of the Year for the Florida Wildlife Art Expo.
Alan’s work has attracted huge interest at major auctions including Sotheby’s, Bonhams and Christie’s and continues to captivate wildlife art collectors across the World.
Alan M Hunt, now 70, no longer teaches field painting where upon he led study trips around the world. Although he fondly remembers past trips in pursuit of his wildlife reference to places such as the Masai Mara in Kenya to study the wildebeest migration which Alan says was his best ever trip to Africa, closely followed by a trip to Rwanda to study the mountain gorillas.
Commenting on his painting, Alan says, 'As a wildlife artist and conservationist, I have grave concerns for the environment and believe it needs as much support as I can possibly give, whether financially or as a spokesman. If my son doesn't get to see half the wildlife in his lifetime that I've seen, I will feel very guilty. Rather than become a famous painter / artist I would like to be remembered as someone who tried to make people aware of the need to protect the environment, wildlife and the planet.'
Alan M Hunt is best known for the diversity of his subject matter his fascination with british garden birds provided excellent material for his first paintings. But he soon moved on to capture the natural world around him on canvas. Alan's paintings of garden birds soon developed into raptors (birds of prey) and then on to mammals of all shapes and sizes.
Some of Alan's greatest artworks of Big Cats are featured in his coffee table book "On the Edge" by Paul Evans published by the Halcyon Gallery.

ALAN Hunt's Motivation
Unexpected Landing
Alan’s main motivation has always been to conserve the world’s wildlife for future generations. Through his art, his mission is to impart some of the love, experience and concern for these animals and to protect the environment and wildlife we share this planet with. Painting the big cats of Africa and Asia has enabled significant fundraising efforts for numerous trusts across these regions.
Alan studied Zoology at firstly Leeds College and then Bristol University. This helped Alan to learn more about the animals he paints, their habitats, diets, nature and anatomies.
Alan's first solo art exhibition was at the age of just 18, this was held in his home town of Redcar in the North of England. Since then his original paintings have been shown in museums, galleries and public and private collections worldwide. Alan has received international acclaim, winning The Society of Animal Artists’ (USA) Award of Excellence on four occasions and The Wildlife Art Society’s UK Best Artist on Show for three consecutive years.

Amazing Wildlife Art by Alan M Hunt
A collection of amazing wildlife art by Alan M Hunt who is an internationally acclaimed british wildlife artist that has been painting images from the natural world for over 50 years. Alan was brought...Photo-realism and his painting techniques
Baldrick and Alan
Alan's work is often described as photorealism, and in one sense this describes the photo quality of his scenes and his attention to detail. Alan admits that in his youth he was obsessed with detail, trying to paint every feather on a bird. But he has learnt over the years that the eye does not see all the detail, especially on an animal some distance away. He has learnt subtle techniques for conveying detail without obsessive application.
Alan in his career as an artist has worked in gouache, oils, ink egg tempera, watercolour but now mainly works in acrylic.
qUOTE By Alan M Hunt
"I try everything, I'm not set in my ways . In almost every painting I change something or try something different."
Alan's Preference when it comes to painting materials.
And this is by no way an endorsement it is just what he uses and prefers to paint with. But hey Alan does not like Bovril or Marmite. Daler Rowney

His approach to painting - Learn more about how Alan creates his stunning paintings.
Painting at his easel
Alan has an incredible store of information in his mind which he has gathered through experience by researching in the wild, with camera and sketchbook in hand, to understand the true reality of all his subjects, habits, genetics and their habitats including the flora, fauna and environment that surrounds them, all of which contribute to give his paintings their own individual story and gradually fulfil his impossible ideal of creating an image which moves!
Alan's inspiration comes from the love and passion for the natural world and sharing the urgency for their conservation and respect.
Alan's imagination is only limited by physical size and time. Every night he goes to sleep thinking of new paintings and how he will compose all the elements
which form the essence of the stunning new challenges with his ideas.
After so many years painting Alan M Hunt has developed his own approach to the physical process of painting. With the images and methods already composed and planned in his mind Alan has no need for sketching layouts or ideas on paper before starting to work on his paintings. He has already predetermined the size and complexity, resourced and checked all of his references and prepared his masonite board with great care.
Masonite is an American euphemism for M.D.F. which is bought in 8 ft x 4ft sheets in minimum 6mm thickness and can be cut to any size.
Each individual board is carefully sanded smooth before being primed with three coats of Gesso. Between each of the coats it is allowed to completely dry and then resanded before the next. After the last coat been sanded he then scrapes the surface to a glass smooth finish with a stanley knife blade. It is at this point that it is now ready to paint on. The other side is also gessoed in order to seal the whole board which makes it resistant to warping especially essential with very large pieces.
Alan begins by painting the whole board in a priming tone relative to the background of his chosen work. i.e. grey for seascapes, brown for rocks and deserts, brown and green for jungles, and medium blue / grey or warm blue for skies.

On The Edge by Paul Evans
Starting to paint wildlife
The finished lion painting - Lazy Days
Alan then starts his background painting working from the top to at least two thirds down from the bottom depending on where his subject will be placed in the composition. He works in the details, depth and perspective he has chosen, often working from 2 to 3 references from his own collection of photographs, ensuring and adapting the light source to match the whole image. Alan works as though seeing nature from the distance to the foreground rather like a stage set, layers from the back to the front to created depth and distance and perspective. Only when his stage has been set will he decide on where the final placing of his subject will be and having the whole backdrop painted in detail he can overlay the animal without having to paint the background in and around it!
The animal or bird is then "blocked in" using three tones based on the subjects overall colouring, creating the shape and form before carefully painting the body, fur, skin or feathers, whilst also adjusting the positioning and balance of the overall composition.
Ultimately the foreground and any details added which overlap or cover any part of the subject is finished last .The picture is then placed in the main room of the house for him to walk past and look at. It is then at this stage that any relevant details which may enhance the balance or impact of the final painting may be added.
One piece depending on complexity of the setting and number of animals or birds can take several weeks or more. His ability to balance the light and depth in his pieces give the impression one could walk into the painting, even put a hand out and stroke the animal, you can almost watch them come to life!
