Collin Bogle grew up in Northwestern Washington. As a kid he liked to spend his time outdoors, fishing, roller-blading, or riding his mountain bike. His father, Lee Bogle, was an art teacher in high school and even when Collin showed extraordinary artistic abilities it was still thought that he would be an accountant. Lee Bogle was absolutely amazed with Collin's ability.Today both Lee and Collin Bogle are professional artists. Both father and son live in Seattle and live 10 minutes apart. They both excel at realistic detail, if you saw their art, however, no one would guess their close connection.Lee Bogle, after painting wildlife subjects most of his life, has moved back to his first love- the human figure. He is best known for his Native American depictions in flowing backgrounds. Now he has shifted to ballet dancers. Unlike his father, Collin Bogle has moved toward wildlife. He takes adventures through the woods near his house with a camera looking for surprises.Drawing and painting were major passions for Lee Bogle, even in childhood. He pursued his art during evenings and weekends for twenty years whil
Usually to begin a painting Collin will airbrush the canvas a few tones darker than he wants the finished product to look. I also think that it's great how Collin has been able to make such a good living, doing something he loves, at such a young a age. It's an exciting story about a good relationship between father and son. He usually starts by getting an idea for his next work on his computer. He worked in stained glass, pottery, and even dipped into sculpture. Lee Bogle is very proud of his son not because he is a good artist but because he is a good person. Nowadays it's gotten to the point where Lee is sometimes asking his son for advice. Next, Lee experimented with oil pastel drawings against the free- form colors of the wash. At the age of twenty- five Collin has never held a full time job other than being an artist. He sometimes likes to change positions of objects, reverses images and adjusts sizes, colors and brightness. Collin's most well known skill is the ability to portray lighting in a very dramatic way. He will scan his photographs of animals and scenery into his computer and take it from there. In order to get to his goal of being a professional artist Collin used to always ask his father to critique his paintings. When Collin was still young he never imagined a career in art.
