The US-based artist Ron Sanders was inspired by fantasy and adventure stories in his creative youth, but his career took him more in the direction of historical art, which included designing coins for the United States Mint. Now, he’s returned to his early inspirations.
While he's experienced in a wide range of 2D media, including digital techniques, Ron found his true love in oil painting. Influenced by European academic realism, impressionism and fantasy illustration, he depicts heroism, action, and adventure, often seeking to reflect a battle between light and dark, good and evil. He follows a methodical approach, building from concept to composition, developing line art, value and color studies, and finally texture and details.
