Darin Ashby

“I have always loved pencil drawings in fine detail and creating a black and white image with the use of value only. I love the emotion and feeling that black and white images can convey. Drawing for so long has been very rewarding and has prepared me for painting in the classical academic methods of the masters.”

Darin draws much of his inspiration from artists such as Carl Bloch, William Bouguereau, and Norman Rockwell, though he admits that his top four favorite artists are the four little girls that love joining him in his studio to learn how to paint like their dad. His paintings and sketches have brought joy and meaning to many, from his first commission drawing airplanes in the second grade to his award-winning gallery pieces.
