BOTANICAL &
BIRD ART
by Deborah Watton
My artwork is inspired by the nature around me, birds flitting in and out of my walled cottage garden and the goings on of the wildlife foraging in the undergrowth. Flowers and birds are my passion, and I like to portray them in Professional Coloured Pencil and graphite. The sharp pencils and unique techniques, allow me to produce tiny details bringing each piece to life, blending the results to achieve a painted feel to the work .

About....
Deborah Watton Botanical & Bird Artist
I am a botanical artist working predominantly in professional coloured pencil and graphite. These mediums lend themselves to unique techniques which I can use for tiny details in my work, bringing pieces to life and making you feel like you are really in the outdoors among nature itself.
I am particularly inspired by my own walled, cottage garden in a small Worcestershire village, where I can watch the endless activity of the birds among the crammed borders and trees. I am also lucky to have an abundance of beautiful public gardens around me here in Worcestershire to take further inspiration from.
My coloured pencil journey started fairly recently following a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis which stopped me following my outdoor photography passion. I realised that there were many people who struggled to see the beauty of our natural world, so it became my passion to bring bright and vibrant colour to the indoors for everyone to enjoy. My moto is 'bringing the outdoors indoors'.
I am still very much on an artistic journey having completed a Diploma with the London Art College in 2022, and now studying for a Professional accreditation with the Society of Botanical Artists SBA to further my skills and knowledge in this subject matter. I am also a member of the ever growing Feckenham Artisans local group, which regularly holds events locally to display, demo and sell our work.
My work is available to purchase from my online shop and in The Gallery, Pershore and Tewkesbury. Alternatively, visit one of the events (see events page) I am at and meet me too!
If you have any questions, please contact me, I'm always happy to help.
Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy my work
