All of Osbornes paintings have been created in the past few years since he started painting again after a 27 year break from art. Most of these works have been created using gouache and a few in watercolour and oil.
The Black label range are his most detailed artworks and can take anywhere up to 50 hours to complete. He likes to work small so most artworks are about A4 210mm x 297mm
Osborne was approached my the local Mile Historical Village and Museum to create a series of greeting cards. Since this was a project of twelve artworks in a short time frame, he chose watercolour and ink. This is a much quicker and looser style of painting and sketching.
This also moved him from his normal birds and landscapes into sketching buildings, old cars and tractors which he thoroughly enjoys.
Here’s a chance to look inside Osborne’s sketching journals that he uses in-between larger artworks or while on holiday. You can often find him sketching in his journals while in his studio.

After a 25yr laps in painting, it took selling my house and quitting my job to re discover my passion for art.
• Animals have always been a favourite of mine to paint because no matter where in the world I travel there is always an amazing selection to choose from.
• Whilst traveling I photograph animals and landscapes then select the most interesting of these to paint.
• My goals are to have my artworks hanging in people’s homes around the world.
• Detail is everything in my artwork, the parts other people miss. The scars on a bird’s beak, the freckles inside a koala’s ears, the deep reflections in an animals eyes are all details I pride myself on capturing.
• Hopefully you can follow me on my creative journey as you view my artworks throughout this website, Facebook or Instagram, All under ChrisOsborne.Art
