A teenage artist who shot to fame as a young boy when galleries of his work sold out in minutes has made his first trip abroad to follow in the footsteps of his favourite painters.

Kieron Williamson, from Norfolk, was dubbed the "mini Monet" for the beautiful landscapes he produced from the age of six - mastering techniques many painters fail to reach until their latter years.

Now 6ft tall, the 16-year-old has been to Venice for his latest work - the Italian city that inspired many of his heroes including Edward Seago, John Singer Sargent and Ken Howard.

"My early work I think is good for my age, but compared to what I'm doing now it's completely different," said the teenager.

"I love painting because it transports you to a different place. Partly why I love it so much is because you never know what the final result is going to be."
