Gerald Miles, a retired engineer and technical illustrator, works primarily in watercolour, pastels, oils, and acrylics. He builds textured surfaces with acrylic modelling paste and applies dry brush techniques and a restrained palette, favouring realism with expressive brushwork. Miles draws on his lifelong interest in nature and sport diving, creating paintings that depict landscapes, animals in motion, and underwater scenes. His work is defined by a strong sense of atmosphere and a deep respect for the natural world.
