Scottish painter Stephen Shankland has made a name for himself with his crisp, sharp portraits. Becoming a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 2008, Shankland’s work is defined by bright colors and highly detailed figures. Shankland doesn’t shy away from showing the reality of his sitters. Instead, he shows us how each line, each mark and each plane fit together to create a wholly unique and exceptional individual.
Shankland is a master of atmosphere, cleverly depicting reflective surfaces and natural lighting. Most recently, the artist has embarked on a series of paintings which depict the U.K.’s most celebrated golf courses. His work has been applauded as the only paintings which truly capture the spirit of golf. For more about Stephen Shankland, visit his
