Mixed Media - Acrylic and 24 carat Gold Leaf

7/14/2018

 
I have been using some 24 carat gold leaf recently in my work , and trying to find ways to gently add it , as it is such an over powering medium , it can easily overwhelm your artwork .

I've been working on a series of nest studies . Bird's nests have always fascinated me , I think it is just amazing how birds manage to weave the intricate structures with their beaks .

Below are a few photos of both finished works , works in progress and sketches . 

I should say the sketches were done from nests that were set up at a local museum , you shouldn't disturb a nesting bird .

Why Sketch ?

6/1/2018

 
I have sketched for as long as I can remember , and if I'm truly honest I get a lot of pleasure from going out and sketching outdoors . I used to paint  'plein air ' , but now find I feel too much pressure to produce a finished painting on the spot , especially if I get onlookers about me . Sketching in a sketchbook , doesn't have the same same pressure , after all it's only a sketchbook !

Whilst out sketching with a local art group , it struck me , that although we were all sketching , we were all also taking photos . With out exception everybody's  sketches were more interesting than their photos .

A photo captures the entire scene in front of you , and often dulls the shadow areas , although it can be a useful reminder , the sketch captures something else .

This is a sketch I painted of a view of  East Harting Hants and a photo of the same view .

'Award Winning Artist '

5/27/2018

 
I was thrilled to win the Christopher Parsons Award for Artistic Excellence at the TWASI Exhibition this year ( 2018 ) . Particularly as two of the judges were artistic heroes of mine - Mandy Shepherd and Pip McGarry. The award is for a series of paintings that have to fit a particular set of categories, as I am so fond of painting the Coast , it seemed natural that I chose that theme for my work.
The winning paintings were :-
Evening Tide , Ringed Plover, Surf and Sanderlings and Low Tide

    Wild life Artist

    My daughters have been nagging me for some time to do a blog , to be honest I'm not very 'techy' and wasn't really sure what a 'blog' was ! "just write about what you do" my eldest said - so from time to time I'll pop some WIP on here and try to show you my work process !
