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
Detail of the large narrative piece I’m working on. I feel it’s starting to have the intensity, Not there yet with other parts. I’m going to add subtle glazes of green (terra vert). Part of my @AldeburghRNLI portrait project. #RNLI #aldeburgh #suffolk #lifeboats
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
Challenged to reproduce a painting by locally boy Thomas Gainsborough. Way beyond me but let’s give it a go. This is step one of probably many. First let’s get some paint on the canvas, blocking in and getting rid of the white. Watch this space! #art #reproduction #oilpainting
Second session on this #rnli portrait. One of the DLAs. Very pleased with it though you can’t see the brush strokes in photo. @AldeburghRNLI #wip #impasto
Back in the life studio. Unfinished piece but has promise. Oil on canvas. #paintingfromlife #oiloncanvas #art #
