Lap work

Today I really wanted to have another day in my studio but unfortunately the very wet weather and a severe power cut put paid to that idea. But all was not lost...............I have several Pop Art projects on the go at the moment. With half finished celebrity faces laying all around the house, they are a great thing to pick up and work on in fits and starts. As these portraits are made using acrylics, I can work on my lap. So, although I wanted to work on a rather special oil painting project, instead I've completed 2 Pop Arts. Hopefully, fingers crossed, I'll be able to work in oils tomorrow, while the creative mood is still with me.

Incidentally..........................I am able to teach these Pop Art Portraits to beginners. If you're interested in painting your own idol's portrait this way please contact me on 01473 311938 for details. Alternatively you can view other student's work on my website HERE

The Crossing

This Bank Holiday weekend has been spent painting. On Saturday I enjoyed the day in my studio and worked on this bridge scene 'The Crossing'. I got quite carried away with this and took a lot of time tickling in some really fine details. It's put me in good stead for including a bridge in future painting projects, which was the main aim of the exercise. Now I need to develop a painting, with this stone bridge, that can be taught in an oil painting class in the 5 hour time slot.

Spring's Here........

This week I had set aside some time to complete some new class painting subjects. I have several scenes that are in development and they really do need finalising and fine tuning. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the weather has been so glorious that it seems a shame to be indoors painting. I managed to find a happy medium (pardon the pun) and split my time between working in the garden and working on some paintings.

Here's a couple of new additions to the Class Subjects' Gallery that you might like.

'Flare' - a rather different mountain scene

and

'Spring's Here' - a pretty and colourful floral composition

We'll be painting 'Spring's Here' at Heartlands in July.
