How many paintings does James complete in one year?
Between twenty and twenty-five pictures are completed a year. The painter’s season falls into very traditional parts, painting and selling. Exhibitions and shows fall in a short summer, from May to July and a short, early Winter, in November and December. Painting for these starts in about October and ends in April with commissions, training, panel-making and experiments fitted between these two periods. James seldom gets a holiday!

Where is James’ studio based?
James Gillick lives and works in a quiet, beautiful backwater of rural Lincolnshire, England where he runs his busy studio. Contact him if you wish to visit: [email protected]
Has James always been an artist?
“I suppose I have been training all my life. As a child, art was always the dominant subject in our home and I had my first commissions while I was still at school, portraits of horses, houses and dogs.”
Does James take apprentices?
At this current time James is not taking on apprentices. However, young artists from the UK & US do call to discuss their careers and technical questions. Some call and arrange to visit for a few days.
Does James make his own paints?
Yes. Using 17th century techniques developed over generations , James prepares every element of his works by hand, from the gessoed panels that support the paint surface to the varnish that protects the finished work and every material between the two. He mixes the finest quality pigments with linseed oil to form his paints. This artisanal attention to detail ensures the longevity of his artworks, and imbues them with a luminous quality that cannot be supplied by factory-produced paints.
Can clients visit James’ studio?
It would be a pleasure for me to give you a tour of the studio where you can gain further insight into my painting process. Please contact James to make arrangements: [email protected].
Can I commission a painting?
A large percentage of the work I produce comes through the commissioning process. Sometimes, people connect so strongly with my imagery and colours that to commission a picture is an easy and pleasurable step to take. The commissioner has the germ of an idea, which acts as a starting point from which the following process flows: Contact me by e-mail or telephone making sure to leave a return contact address or number. The idea is discussed. Practical matters such as location, timing and financial boundaries are considered. Some technical information will be given. I set down my thoughts in a letter. If necessary ideas will be clarified further. Sittings are arranged for portraiture, which usually take place in the studio. However, I will travel if requested. A simple Commission Contract is exchanged outlining our obligations to one another. 40% deposit is due on exchange. From the time work commences, the patron is kept informed as to the work’s progress. A final viewing, prior to varnishing and framing, is arranged. Balance due on delivery. Contact James at infogillick-artist.com
Does James ship overseas?
Yes, at no extra cost.
What is a Reprise?
A ‘Reprise’ is a repainted version of the original composition. The ‘original’ is not copied; the same subject is set up in the studio and painted anew. It will differ slightly, but recognisably from the ‘original’. It is painted by James Gillick, corner-to-corner.
Does James use silver saint to paint silver?
A common question to which the answer is, “No, of course not!”. James uses a palette of just six colours plus black and white, made from pure and natural ingredients .
