Isabella Watling England 1990

Isabella Watling was born in London in 1990, and spent her formative years in the UK and Australia. From the age of 18 she trained at the Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence where she returns periodically to teach portrait and figure painting. Isabella now lives and works in London.
Her time at the studio gave Isabella a rigorous training in sight-size portraiture, following the tradition of masters like Van Dyck, Velázquez and Sargent. In keeping with this approach, Isabella’s portraits are painted to the scale of life, under natural light and always directly from the sitter.
Most of Isabella’s work is undertaken on commission and has seen her travel to paint in America, and around Europe. She has shown her work regularly in galleries and exhibitions in London
Isabella’s portrait ‘The Importance of Being Glenn’ was exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery, London for the BP Portrait Award 2012.  Her full length portrait Gina and Cristiano was exhibited at the Bp portrait award 2014.
