Partington grew up near Poole Harbour which has had a deep influence, with spare time spent watching birds and exploring the shoreline. He started sketching at a young age and pursued his interest at Bournemouth College of Art. He taught for many years, but as demand for his painting and printmaking grew, he took up art full-time, working in hand coloured drypoints, etchings and original watercolours, for which he is particularly renowned. In recent years he also has experimented with sculpture. (Nature in Art also has examples of drypoints and watercolours by this artist in its collection.) His work has been widely published. Partington is an elected member of the Society of Wildlife Artists.
