Oils by Choice

Original Oil Paintings by Robert Lincoln

I have painted in oils for many years as an interest which was first seeded as a young boy by my mother, who was accomplished in both water colours and oils. During the last 5 years I have been able to dedicate far more concentrated time into my oil painting and I have sought advice to improve my technique and subject matter from artists I know and admire. 

I have exhibited successfully, both individually and within a small group around the Weald,  and undertaken many commissions which, as as well as locally around the Weald, have found their way to places like New Zealand and Brussels. I sometimes paint outdoors but usually my work is based on my sketches, my  photographs and my imagination. 

I usually paint on Deep-Edge Canvas and extend the painting around the edges or on Canvas Board if the customer is intending to add a frame of their choice. I add fixings and wire to the Deep-Edge Canvas so that the painting is ready to hang.

Realism and depth of subject are what I aim to depict and I am happy to attempt any subject request.

My driving force is not the pursuit of sales or profit but of successfully completing work which is both self-satisfying to me and pleasurable to others.

Commissions are welcome either from customer photographs or my own photography.

If you have any questions, or if you are interested in purchasing a painting, please contact me.
