My Art - African Animals
My artist side started at an early age, in junior school to be more precise. I definitely didn't get artist side from my parents, who are not very good at art (sorry Mum and Dad). I pick up on different art techniques by watching and taking in what i see, going back to the drawing board with a new idea, trying to perfect it from what i have seen. I have various different techniques of art such as pencil drawings, burning pictures into wood with a soldering iron and airbrushing.
Start off with some pencil drawings:
Zebra's at the water hole
It was early morning and a herd of Zebras had just galloped across the open plain to get a drink.
Kudu Bull
Kudu Bull standing proud in the long grass.
.
Male lion
Majestic male lion scanning the vast plains for potential prey.
Giraffes
Giraffes towering over the small trees of the savanna.
Cheetah
Cheetah scouring the open savannah for prey and danger.
White Rhino
Using its ears to detect the faintest sounds of danger approaching.
Leopard
A sign of sure elegance in the wild.
Shortly i will be uploading pictures of my airbrushing and pictures that were burnt onto wood. Stay posted.
More pictures can be viewed on facebook.

Giorgio Uccellini - Airbrush Artist
Giorgio has been a self taught airbrush artist for about 20 years now. He teachers various different airbrush classes. One of which i attended and throughly enjoyed it.
Here are a few questions from myself to Giorgio.
Me: First of all can you tell me a little about your work?
Giorgio: I have always drawn ,and still do , that's why i took to the airbrush , it is like drawing with a pencil and very fast, my main interest is portraiture , i was a musician and that is why i like to paint the rock-icons portraits, and have been doing it for years.
Me: What type of themes do you use or explore in your art and why?
Giorgio: I try to do all my work freehand ,the airbrush is an extension of my hand , Masking does not work for me .
I try to get some soul into portraits ,and music is very important to , and try to capture it in the musicians i do.
Me: What do you strive to achieve through it?
Giorgio: The perfect Portrait ....
Me: Do you have any views on public attitude towards art?
Giorgio: I am not a fan of the fine art scene ,it is all hyped.Me: When did you start airbrushing?
Giorgio: Over 30 years ago , doing t-shirts in the Oasis store Birmingham.Me: How long has it taken for you to get to where you are now?
Giorgio: A life time and I'm still learning . Every new painting is an adventure.Me: What or who was your inspiration for starting airbrushing?
Giorgio: Chuck close , airbrush action magazine and Jurek.Me: Do you do any other forms of art besides airbrushing?
Giorgio: I do a lot of sketching ,and always carry them with me .
I have done some sculpture ,and i like printing.
Me: Do you have an artist that you look up to and why?
Giorgio: Chuck Close , Don Eddy, Leonardo DA'Vinci and many others.
Chuck Close was a photo realist pioneer using the airbrush.
Me: What does your art mean to you?
Giorgio: My Art is the meaning of Life , I paint therefore i am.......
