The studio... April 2012 |
... and colour on my paint palette.
This moment down in the studio on Monday was such a happy one.
The Sun was shining, it was warm and still
and the colours just kept flowing.
When I start a new work I usually start by building up layers...
First with pencil, then with acrylic paint
and finally with oil based materials
such as oil pastels and oil paint.
Like a cake, it all has to come in the right order and at the right time
and for me it gives my work depth and dimension.
And what every artist hopes for...
a sense of place and complexity.
Lets hope the rain starts its journey south
in the next few days,
so I can feel the creative process
once more.
{And dry out my soggy socks!}
