- About my artwork
- Until comparatively recently most of my work focused on wildlife and the natural world, creating highly detailed pictures painted in gouache and watercolour with traditional sable hair brushes - I don't do computer generated images they are all real paintings done on real paper or canvas with real paint and real brushes!
Still passionate about nature and still producing highly detailed wildlife illustrations my work has now also taken a new direction creating much larger paintings of wildlife, nature and the human form. These new paintings are much larger than my previous works, they are painted in a more impressionist style and concentrate on mood and movement rather than detail. They are painted whilst standing at the easel, using pallet knives with acrylic on canvas or drawn in pastel on coarse textured water colour paper.
