About Jim Dewar

Jim has over twenty-eight years experience working as a professional artist. He has produced many landscape and seascape paintings plus a wealth of portraiture and caricatures . Included on this website are portraits of famous Hollywood Legends such as Steve McQueen, John Wayne, Marlon Brando, Marlena Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe and many more. The wildlife pages include intimate and detailed studies of animals and birds such as the Scottish Highlands own Golden Eagle and Highland cattle, also from further afield there are studies of tigers and a silverback gorilla. Family pets (cats and dogs) are also included on this page. Jim's caricature work is also shown, amongst these are some famous faces, including a few from Rangers Football Team from about 1993. Some, more recent caricatures have been created digitally in Adobe Photoshop. Caricatures are mostly private commissions by people who want to mark a special occasion or celebration, such as Birthdays, Weddings, Retirement etc. A caricature can be tailored to suit almost any occasion.

Jim now works mostly in watercolour and on occassions acrylic, as being able to use the texture of the paint can often capture that elusive mood. "Reflections, River Tay", "The Silvery Tay", "Storm at Achmithie", and "Sunset at Broughty Castle" are just a few examples of Jim's acrylic paintings on this website.

Jim continues to be an enthusiastic exhibitor and his work can regularly be found in local exhibitions and galleries.
