Specialist Painting

"Master of the Art" - Country Life

James Mackie is one of the Country's finest architectural painters as his accolades in Country Life Magazine, Home and Garden and others testify.

His glaze work (the basic toolbox of most specialist painters - including marbling, graining, wash techniques, dragging, stippling etc.) is second-to-none as the magnificent faux 'pietra dura' table that is always present in the shop exemplifies.

His reputation as a painter has grown along with the breadth of work he has undertaken from enormous painted ceilings in the grand architectural style to small trompe l'oeil projects in a garden setting. Murals, faux panelling, stone 'blockwork' and large scale vistas that extend rooms into distant horizons, formal gardens and romantic coastlines are all part of his portfolio.
