Explore limited edition prints by Julia Whitehead, a contemporary British artist whose distinctive paintings explore people, crowds, movement, animals, countryside and urban life.
Born in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, in 1969, Julia studied Illustration and Printmaking at Cambridge. She now works as a full-time painter from her garden studio in South Lincolnshire, surrounded by farmland and woodland. Her artwork draws inspiration from both her rural surroundings and regular visits to towns and cities.
Julia Whitehead’s Figurative and Animal Art
One of the defining themes of Julia Whitehead’s figurative paintings is the study of people in motion. She uses photographic references, sketchbooks and imagination to explore crowds, figures, shadows and the patterns created by people moving through urban environments.
Her city and figurative paintings often present scenes from unusual viewpoints, allowing the viewer to appreciate the shapes, colours and shadows created by groups of people. London and other UK towns and cities provide recurring sources of inspiration.
Julia also creates animal and countryside paintings, including studies of deer, Highland cattle and other rural subjects. Her animal paintings focus on capturing the character and spirit of the subject without becoming overly sentimental or whimsical.
Colour, Texture and Movement
Julia’s painting technique contributes strongly to the distinctive appearance of her artwork. She often begins with a brightly coloured acrylic background before building up layers of oil paint. Elements of the underlying colour remain visible through the finished painting, creating depth, texture and movement.
This approach gives Julia Whitehead’s limited edition artwork a vibrant contemporary quality, whether the subject is a busy city crowd, a beach scene, a rural landscape or an animal.
