“Simple, Characteristic, uplifting, fun portraits for today, worth framing for tomorrow”.

Philip Shaw is an artist specialising in beautiful watercolour and oil portraits of children and wildlife.

Tall Chin Illustrations is the studio of British artist Philip Shaw, whose work brings together wildlife, landscape and storytelling through traditional painting and illustration.

Philip’s paintings draw inspiration from the wide landscapes of Kenya and the quieter rhythms of the English countryside. From wildlife studies and safari scenes to children’s illustrations and narrative sketches, his work explores the character and movement of animals and the places they inhabit.

Working primarily in watercolour and oil, Philip creates original paintings and limited edition prints that capture moments of curiosity, companionship and adventure.
