Original artwork; watercolour on Whatman paper c.1969, 

The precision and expertise that is emblematic of his work comes from early training as a draughtsman and book binder.  As is evident in this piece, Wyles’ work is characterised by an attention to detail. His favoured medium of watercolour provided his work with a refined quality; the brushstrokes are more evident and contain more shading than in the more graphic. The original painting is approximately 30 cm wide x 41 cm tall.

Original artwork; c.1969, watercolour on whatman paper

This is for a six-part serialization of Paul Gallico’s novel Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris for a popular women’s magazine.  Before the advent of full colour television in 1969 women’s magazines were enormously popular in the UK.   A magazine like Woman, would sell three and a half million copies a week.  Their influential art directors competed to hire the freshest illustration talent of the time to illustrate all manner of content including exceptional short stories and serialisations.

Original artwork; watercolour on whatman paper, c.1969

This illustration was commissioned for a serialised story in a woman’s magazine. Unlike his contemporaries, Wyles worked in watercolour, working from the magazine’s art direction and reference photography.  He achieved astonishing accuracy, the only clue to his medium being the way details beyond the focus points appear to melt away. The original painting art board is approximately 30 cm wide x 41 cm tall.
