Acrylic on Paper 2003. When I was starting out as a painter painter friend of mine said why did you take a trip to the south of France and do lots of sketching or photography to get ideas about what to paint so I followed his advice got on the plane to Nice and this was one of the villagers that I came through I climbed to the top of the church and took this photograph.
Oil painting is a slow process because you have to wait and be patient when adding layers it is however worth the wait as the finished results are worth it.
Gouache is bright and strong and is great for working out doors for fresh immediate results and is easy to transport and work with and that's why I just I love it
I like to take acrylic painting out with me when I am plain air painting but only occasionally as I now paint mainly in oil. I love acrylic and I also love oil
