Pair of Pastels by Joel Kirk
Joel Kirk was born in Dorking in 1948 and has worked as a freelance artist for a number of publishing houses.
Joel is kept busy with commissions from wildlife organisations from all over the world. Joel's long and illustrious career as an artist has taken him all over the world to study wildlife in its natural habitat. This research has given him a unique insight into the habits of his subjects allowing him to paint with both accuracy and affection. Although he has experimented successfully with a variety of media, his first love is pastels as these give him the ability to work fast and effectively on location. The consequent velvety texture and subtlety of tones with shadows and highlights bring a unique realism to his portrayals and have earned him a wide and enthusiastic following.
