Synopsis: Steve, a colour blind painter, shared his journey from first picking up a paintbrush during Covid to promoting and selling his art today. How his passion for military history informed his work and why he chose to combine these 2 interests. As a consultant, Steve shared his insights on the use of LinkedIn to promote his work.

About the Artist: Steve began painting on July 1st, 2019 and has had no formal ART training.
His first paintings were a series of 50 “Military Portraits” demonstrating the development of Steve’s unique and quirky portrait style.
He draws his artistic inspiration from the details of military uniforms, traditional military portraiture, visualization of military data and procedure, aerial reconnaissance photography, campaign maps, nautical charts, propaganda posters, the machines of warfare and the use of colour and design to both disguise and reveal.
