An introduction to the artist.

Ross Watton is well known for his work on the Anatomy of the Ship books, published by Conway Publishing. His paintings have graced the covers of many books, both fiction and non-fiction. He has also illustrated numerous other publications, on a wide range of subjects and been commissioned to paint a series of warships for the Discovery Channel. Throughout two decades, Ross has designed hundreds of postage stamps for many countries: one of his most recent being for the Falkland Islands, commemorating the Centenary of Naval Aviation in 2009. For over 20 years, HMS Belfast, the World War Two cruiser, moored in the Pool of London, has displayed his large, hand painted illustration of the ship, showing every compartment. Ross has an authoritative knowledge of ships and the sea, gained foremost by his time spent in the Senior Service, during the 1970's. This knowledge translates into paintings that contain a deep empathy for the subject, matched only by his love of the medium in which he portrays them. Since 2007, Ross has been responsible for the production of the highly acclaimed, centre page cutaway illustrations for the Royal Navy newspaper, the Navy News. Throughout three decades, he has also painted numerous ship portraits for Commanding Officers. These he produces in oils on stretched canvas, usually measuring 30 x 20 inches. Naval Blue offers signed limited number prints at A2 (420 x 594 mm)
