Getting back into it...

An alternative Mawgan Porth in acrylic.

No more acrylics in portraits!

The frustration has finally gotten to me! I'm fed up of paints drying out! So. I'm off to start again in oil.

Portrait - Katie B

For the first time I created a grisaille before even thinking of colour and what a difference it made when painting! 

I'm pretty pleased with this one. However, I'm never sure about the hair. The mid tone is ok I think (burnt sienna and sap green) but the highlights aren't great. Maybe the brush I'm using. I never feel happy with hair!

The background is always a tricky one too. Blue seems ok here - recedes I think. Could that be better too? Probably.

Need to Use Oils

I love painting portraits -but I think using acrylics is limiting. Edges are too hard and blending is tough... time to make a change?

Before the Storm - Landscape

I've been looking at Barry Hilton's work and love the mood he creates in his paintings.

This one has made it onto the wall at home. It's awaiting a varnish.

What Will Follow...

My aim is to post my paintings as they come - maybe work in progress too. I will reference artists who are influencing my work.

I'll be honest, I'm very nervous about sharing like this... but I do want to improve! So - off we go!
