Enjoying working in a very impasto style. At this rate it will be dry by Christmas! #art #painting #portraiture #creative #naplesyellow
If Gainsborough had added the cat. Would it have savage as his sketching? This transcription is trying to push the cat further along. Blood and fur will fly. #gainsborough #art #painting #wip
Just fattening the faces, maybe even more needed. Let’s make a start on the cat! #transcription #art #gainsborough
Always like to see the detail of an eye! First draft of this very heavily painted portrait. Based on a b&w photo of #aldeburgh Benjamin Britten. This is going to take some time to dry! @Visit_Suffolk @InSuffolk @BrittenOfficial #benjaminbritten #music #snape
Out with the cad red and yellow today working on the @mustoclothing jacket and @Crewsaver life jacket. Knocking back the whiteness of the canvas to let the gecko helmet sing. Part of the @RNLI portrait project. “OilSkins” A portrait of the #aldeburgh #lifeboat #crew this November
This big narrative piece had lots of colour added in over the terra vert base. Need to make the foreground dark so you look through the picture. Part of my #lifeboat portrait project the November.@AldeburghRNLI #art #painting #rescue
Couldn't resist to pop it in a frame. Just shows that starting with a tinted canvas, not white is the best way. Be prepared! #portraits #painting #oilpainting #paintingaday #oilstudy
Pretty much finished this portrait, just a little more work on the hand. Ready for the #RNLI portrait teaser show during the @AldeStudioTrail this coming June in #Aldeburgh #suffolk #portrait #painting @AldeburghRNLI
Detail from a life study. Too much light on the lower eyelid but there is life in the eyes, so will progress with it. #art #paining #lifestudy
Getting close with this Gainsborough transcription. Underpainting nearly done. Lots of flake white in the face ready for the glazes. It’s going to get darker and richer in colour. Another few sessions yet. #art #oiloncanvas #painting
