MEDIUMS: Watercolor
SPECIALTY: ✔ Critiques ✔ Color ✔ Composition
I am a full time watercolour artist and watercolour tutor and I have the best job in the world! I paint the subjects that captivate and compel me to put ideas down with paint and paper.
My style is direct realism, painting on location or in the studio.
I try to paint a feeling. I love the natural landscapeand used to work as a soil scientist.
Painting is my way of studying nature. Of particular interest are shadows with their range of tones, colours, reflected light and edges. This has led me into painting portraits as I can use the way watercolours are so alive when they flow and mingle giving beautiful transparent effects in shadows. Although I paint in other mediums; oils, and charcoal, it is watercolour that particularly gives me the freedom to get those wonderful subtle and seemingly out of control moments.
