After leaving school at 15, he followed his father down the mines, working as an apprentice engineer. Vettriano took up painting as a hobby in the 1970s when a girlfriend bought him a set of watercolours for his birthday and from then on, he spent much of his spare time learning how to paint, copying Old Masters. His success started in 1988 when he submitted two paintings to the Royal Scottish Academy’s Annual Exhibition; both were sold on the first day and Vettriano was approached by several galleries. He held his first solo exhibition at the Edinburgh Gallery in 1992 entitled ‘Tales of Love and Other Stories’ and later that year, he exhibited at the Mall Galleries in London. He was represented by Portland Gallery from 1994-2007 and during this time, he had many sell-out-solo exhibitions in Edinburgh, London, Hong Kong and New York, and counts Jack Nicholson, Alex Fergusson, and Tim Rice amongst his collectors. In 1996, Pavilion books commissioned W Gordon Smith to compile an anthology of more than 40 Vettriano images, accompanied by a selection of Scottish writing. In 1998, Vettriano moved to London where he continued to have sell-out shows including, ‘Between Darkness and Dawn’, ‘Lovers and Other Strangers,’ and ‘Affairs of the Heart’. In 2004, Vettriano’s original painting, ‘The Singing Butler’ was sold at Sotheby’s for close to £750,000.
