BIOGRAPHY
Brian
Fare
Brian
Fare has received no ‘formal’ training in art
and is entirely self-taught. He has always had an interest
in art with his preferred medium being the graphite pencil.
All of Brian’s aviation illustrations are drawn using
graphite pencils ranging from 6H to 9B producing images
that vary in tone from the richest of blacks to the purest
of whites including all shades of grey in between.
Brian has always had a keen interest in aviation since being
a young lad. Being born and raised in Freckleton Lancashire,
and living a few hundred yards from the main runway of Warton
aerodrome where his father worked on aircraft such as the
Lightning, TSR2, Jaguar and the MRCA/Tornado.
After
leaving school, Brian became an aircraft technician serving
with the Royal Air Force with over 23 years service. It
is this technical background, along with his interest in
aviation that has provided Brian with the insight and technical
knowledge of the aircraft he draws in fine detail.
It
is only recently that his pencil drawings depicting aircraft
of the Royal Air Force have ‘taken-off’ and
the popularity of his work has increased, with many of his
original works being commissioned as leaving gifts for colleagues
within the Royal Air Force.
