Oil painting in progress.. (In the studio).
Oil Commissions
I work from my own good high resolution photographs, or from my own imagination..
I begin by lightly sketching my subject onto the canvas, however before I do, I prepare work sketches and on most occasions paint a watercolour of the subject to test my colour palette ...
Watercolour In The Studio
Watercolours
Watercolour pet portraits are one of my favourite subjects to paint,.
