Patrick Donovan RSMA

Methodology

Patrick Donovan specializes in marine and military subjects using watercolour, acrylic, pen, ink, and pencil. He lives near Dover and finds inspiration in watching the ever-changing panorama and shipping on both sides of the Channel. He devotes great effort to research for both historical and modern subjects in order to be as technically accurate as possible. Preparatory work finds him searching archives or armed with a sketchbook and camera on board a variety of coastal and deep-sea craft, including lifeboats and pilot cutters.
