      Richard Lewington (born 1951) is a British wildlife artist renowned for his exquisite eye for detail, especially with lepidoptera.


      Biography


      Born in 1951, Richard Lewington resides and works in Oxfordshire, England. Lewington's father and grandfather were both countrymen that kept extensive collections of insects, and they were especially interested in butterflies. Lewington has commented that he believes that this is where his interest in wildlife began. As a boy, Lewington used to draw birds but once he graduated from college in the early 1970s, he began illustrating insects. He has a younger brother, Ian Lewington, who is a successful bird artist.


      Education


      Richard Lewington attended Berkshire College of Art and Design where he received his education.


      Career


      Richard Lewington is a freelance illustrator who specializes in illustrating wildlife, but more specifically he illustrates a larger amount of insects and invertebrates. He has made a comment that states that there is no greater diversity of a subject to illustrate because there is an infinite range of shapes, colours and textures. Lewington occasionally paints vertebrates, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and birds. He has also been involved in an app that was being developed that allowed the user to view different kinds of British bumblebees, and his job was to illustrate all the different bumblebees. He is recorded to attend the British Birdwatching Fair at Rutland Water in August each year. Lewington has been able to be successful due to his various skills in observing, being a miniaturist, and having knowledge in his subject matter. He has also been able to illustrate a variety of children's books.


      Success


      In 2012 Lewington won a commission to paint ten butterfly images for a set of first-class postage stamps for Royal Mail, which were available from 11 July 2013.
      He designed a further set of six Royal Mail postage stamps, released in October 2020, featuring insects.
