I’ve done more to this one. I’ve developed an aversion to the texture of canvas. I shall have to gesso and sand it down before I start any more.

King of the castle
She’s finished! Took me quite a while as she got put on hold for commissions and when I was sick. I also had an attack of I’m going to mess this up and put off this final finishing touches. There was also the emotional component as Aya is sadly no longer with us. She was […]
Varnishing with Gamvar
The best part of finishing an oil painting is the varnishing. All the juicy colour fades as the oil paint cures, but a swipe of varnish brings it back to life. I’m using Gamvar here, as I just have to wait for the painting to be touch dry before you can apply. Six months is […]

En plein air
I set off on my own, to get some painting in. My studio assistants were not amused, the walking boots going into the car meant they should be going. Again it rained the whole way there, but stopped as I was getting my kit out of the car, giving me a moving inspiration of cloudy […]
Noah

I took a lot of time getting the shadows mapped out and debating where to put place Noah. Currently I’m feeling good about […]

I’ve been watching Andrew Tischler on youtube. His under painting is […]
Beginnings
Texel tups. I have a load of canvases left over from when I graduated from uni with the impression that painting bigger is better (currently not for me). As I am decluttering, I am using them up. I’ve drawn my lines on, sprayed it with fixative and covered it in matt medium ready for the […]
Acrylics
I’ve been booked to do a demonstration called ‘soggy seasscapes’ on acrylics seascapes. I haven’t painted a full painting in acrylics for over ten years, since my tutor at university got me to try oils properly. Relearning how to use them is a process. Things I’d forgotten (even though I make my students use them) […]
