Mick Loates studied at Sidcup and Ravensbourne Schools of Art. Following a brief and disillusioned spell in advertising, he quit London to pursue a career in wildlife illustration and painting.

He has been featured both on television and in many publications. He has also illustrated 22 titles including the Henry Williamson classics, Salar the Salmon and A Clear Water Stream, the Collins Guide to Fish of Britain & Europe, Brian Clarke’s Trout Etcetera and Tony Soper’s Oceans of Birds.

Using graphite and transparent watercolour he works into the white of the paper building tone with drybrush overglazes, excercising a discipline that avoids use of white paint, body colour or masking fluid.

He lives and works from his studio on the South Devon coast.
