Euan Ernest Richard Uglow was a British painter.
Uglow was born the 10th March 1932 and died the 31st August 2000.
He is famous for his nude and still life paintings such as German Girl and Skull.
Uglow was from London, England and lived in Tulse Hill in south London.
Uglow went to Strand School in Tulse Hill but afterwards he studied at Camberwell School of Art from 1948 to 1950 and from 1951 to 1954 at the Slade School of Fine Art, where he came under the influence of William Coldstream.
Uglow’s three-dimensional canvas paintings are sharp very well shaded and realistic.
Uglows technique is sigh size painting and drawing, Uglows art is very neat, simple and detailed.
He uses primary and secondary colours, the light areas are painted with light colours and the darker areas are painted with the same shade but with a darker colour.

Materials Uglow uses are a paintbrush, canvas and watercolour.
Uglow mostly draws nude paintings and still life for example pears, apples and lemons.
My point of view on his art is that it’s very enjoyable to look at, his paintings are simple, warm and calm, mainly because of the colours he uses, when I look at his paintings it reminds me of a vintage home.

Uglows drawings don’t really relate to mine, only the fact that I have drawn some fruits too but I have my own technique.
I have enjoyed drawing fruits, but it was very tricky to shade in the lemons and pears as they are round and I had to make them appear three-dimensional.
