Artist Interview - Jason Morgan

Who are you and what do you do?

My name is Jason Morgan I am a full-time professional nature artist and run a successful online art teaching community – Jason Morgan Patreon art community – www.patreon.com/wildlifeart

Why do you do what you do?

I have always loved art, although I never took it in school, but now as much as creating I also love to teach my techniques. It gives me a wonderful feeling to pass on my techniques to others so they can enjoy creating even more.

What’s your favorite piece of art that you’ve created? Why?

Elephant baby – has been my favourite drawing for a couple of years, as teaching takes up most of my time I don’t often get the opportunity to do something purely for myself. This particular drawing pushed my ability to its limit back then and I am very proud of it.

What’s the best piece of art advice you’ve been given?

I haven’t really been given much advice, but this is something I tell many would-be artists -

In the comments on my artwork posts quite a few people say something

Meet the Artist

From the Artist:

The desire to render images of the world in such a way that resonates truest to me is an experience that goes back to my earliest memories. Growing up in the often stark grey climate of Western Pennsylvania, the hours and days spent coming back to an image, working physically and emotionally through various aspects of the picture, strike a chord in me as deeply as the smell of rotting apples in a warm autumn orchard. These experiences and creations are not merely ornaments to enhance one’s life; rather they are the fundamental ingredients that course through our veins and make us who we are; the lens through which we view our world.
