Jon Tremaine

Jon Tremaine resides on England’s southern coast in rugged Cornwall. His art is created using a Rotring pen drawing directly on to Schoellershammer art board. This pen has the finest 0.10mm nib affording him to draw with great precision. His pen and ink wildlife drawings are a labour of love, taking up to two hundred and eighty hours to create, through sittings of two to four hours at a time.

Jon thinks animals are amazing, he is in awe of how they fend for themselves and adapt to their environment. For him interpreting their shapes and weaving them together to create the fascinating drawings is the challenge. It is an intricate balance and involves much thought about which animal to use where within the bigger picture. It takes time and cunning to consider how each component part of the drawing will relate to another in terms of relevance, shape and form.
