I always start with the background and work forwards layer upon layer. I work primarily in acrylics although I sometimes use oils when I have large background areas. |
I use a wide selection of brushes, many that I have had for years; even the most hairless have a part to play. I pay meticulous attention to detail as I want to achieve excellence. At various stages I mix and apply glazes to enhance the light and atmosphere. |
Each painting for me is an emotional experience and I expend a great deal of energy and a fair amount of aggression with each piece. It is almost like a battle of wills as I try to impose myself upon the canvas. On average a painting takes about a month to complete. Art is my obsession. I am not prolific; it is the quality of the end result that matters most to me. |
