James Baldwin is an English artist currently living and working in New Zealand. He studied fine art at Cumbria College of Art in the mid 1990s. Since then he specialised in high quality pencil drawings, choosing to leave behind his paintbrushes (although he does still dabble on occasion).
Initially, he produced high quality drawings of sporting activities, working with Superbike teams and exhibited his work in London and Edinburgh. Soon, he was approached to draw a Spitfire and this rekindled a long standing passion for aircraft. A passion, he says, that started as a child being dragged each year to the RAF Finningley air show.
In addition to aviation drawings of modern aircraft, James produces historically accurate and detailed World War II drawings. The quality of his drawings must be seen to be believed and resulted in commissions from the Royal Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force and the Joint Services Command and Staff College at the UK Defence Academy.
James Baldwin Aviation Art joined Fine Art America on October 6th, 2012.
