Duncan Osborne's career as a professional artist has spanned over 40 years. He studied at Manchester Art college in the 70's and has worked as a Designer/Illustrator.

His specialist technique is pointillism. Pictures are created by drawing  thousands of dots in ink allowing the flexibility to create intricate surfaces and textures in a variety of subtle tones, which would normally only be possible by using pencil or paint. By varying tonal values he creates a sculptured three dimensional presence to his subjects.

His art is figurative and has been influenced by artists such as Escher, David Shepherd, Atkinson Grimshaw and  Pissarro.
