Hi! I’m Damian Osborne.

And I’m a contemporary figurative and landscape artist from South Africa.

Painting is fundamental to honouring this life and this reality. It’s communication with the unconscious and with Nature. Through art, I hope to subtly stir an internal shift in the way people connect to the land, themselves and this vast natural world; to invite introspection; to awaken a sense of belonging and appreciation.

 

• So if you want to learn some really interesting art techniques from the Old Masters;

• Or if you wanna know more about my art and weird ideas, workshops, exhibitions and art lessons;

• Or if you just want some inspiration as an artist —

 

Then join me here. 

 

 

I might send you an art email once or twice a month, depending on how hard I’m working on my painting.

I respect your privacy and your email address will never be shared with any third party. View Privacy Policy here.

 

Basic Points for Painting, Free Ebook, Damian Osborne, 2022

My latest painting guide…

A simplified summary of the most important principles to be aware of when painting. This 68-page guide with full-page colour artwork is meant to help beginner, as well as professional artists. Use it to explore new aspects or directions in your painting and to check your own work. My aim was to write this booklet without clinging to dogmatic ideas, fashionable trends or obfuscation, but keep to the universal and fundamental principles of painting.

Artist’s Statement

Through art, one transmits feelings. It unites us. Art is timeless and will never outlive its usefulness.

My aim is to begin an internal shift in the way people think of their connection to the natural world. To address this odd disconnect in ourselves.

And why does it feel like we’ve lost the art of being alone?

I try to capture other-worldliness and quiet poetry in landscapes and, hopefully, a sense of mystery and serenity in my figures.

I believe in creating extremely high-quality artwork that will last for generations. I believe in providing information and excellent and approachable service to collectors. I believe in daily practice and hard work to improve the quality and vision of my art.
