About Carl Fitton

Carl has always had a passion for drawing and in particular drawing animals, big or small domestic or wild he enjoys drawing  them! In the sixteen years since completing his degree in Design Studies at Wolverhampton University he has been continuously honing his skills completing both pet portraits and studies of wild animals.

He is fascinated with the amazing creatures which we have the privilege of sharing our planet with and loves to draw and paint them in a variety of mediums.  Carl says the character of an animal can be seen in their faces and in particular their eyes. It is said the eyes are the windows to the soul and he believe's this is true in animals as well as us humans. Carl is fascinated with this concept and strives to capture this in both his commissioned pieces and self initiated work.  He is currently working on a series of studies focusing primarily on close up images of the faces of a variety of his favourite animals, some are big some small some very rare and others we see every day but all share a beauty.
